Welcome to Saint Paul Parish. We offer you our deepest condolences for your loss. In the days ahead, may you feel the healing hand of God.

On this page you will find the resources to help you during this difficult time. 

  • Step 1: Click here for our Funeral Planning Document. Simply download and print this planning document that has been designed specifically for use here at St. Paul Parish, then you can use the other resources on this page to fill it out. Sometimes it is helpful for the whole family to sit down together and make their choices.
  • Step 2: Choose your readings. It is customary to have a reading from both the Old and New Testaments. The following links will give you the approved readings for funeral masses in the Archdiocese of Hartford.
  • Step 3: Choose your music. Click here for a list of the songs which can be sung during the Funeral Mass. It is not our practice to allow recorded songs during the sacred liturgy. Should you desire a hymn not on the music sheet, please email us at ourchurch@stpaulkensington.org to see if we can accommodate your wish.
  • Step 4: Return the Planning Forms to the Parish Office. Simply Email your planning guide to ourchurch@stpaulkensington.org or drop it off at the Parish Office.
