Eternal rest grant to them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
May the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
God of all consolation,
in your unending love and mercy for us,
you turn the darkness of death into the dawn of new life.
Show compassion to your people in sorrow.
Be our refuge and our strength to lift us
from the darkness of this grief
to peace and joy in your presence.
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen.

Funeral Luncheons
It is traditional for there to be a luncheon following the funeral Mass or burial. Many have their luncheon at a location in downtown Ann Arbor. However, if our Parish Hall is available and the kitchen ladies can provide enough people to put lunch on, St. Thomas is happy to host and provide the luncheon here at the church. It is $5/person. Please reference the Funeral Guide for more information.
Parking at St. Thomas
Parishioners and guests are welcome to park in the St. Thomas parking lot (see map below). On Saturdays, Sundays, and Good Friday, you can also park for free at the University of Michigan School of Nursing at the corner of E. Kingsley Street and Ingalls Street.
City meters and surface lots (like the ones in Kerrytown) are also free to park in on Sundays. All municipal parking structures are free to park in on Sundays, with the exception of a rare special event. In those cases, there will be clear signs stating a charge. The lots on the side of and across the street from the Gandy Dancer are therefore free to park in on Sunday.
