On the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, October 4, 2019, with him and St. Jude the Apostle to guide her, my mom, Elaine Ann DelMonico, was embraced by the loving arms of God and ushered into her heavenly home, surrounded and supported by her loving family. I want to share the liturgical resources here which enabled our family to deal with our grief and affirm our hope in God’s mercy and Christ’s resurrection, in which my mom now fully shares.
I work with the USCCB Subcommittee on Certification for Ecclesial Ministry and Service. The subcommittee promotes and resources the development of standards of ministry formation and certification, and it reviews and approves those standards voluntarily submitted by dioceses and national Catholic ministry organizations.
Request Dr. DelMonico's professional services for a liturgical, ministerial or leadership consultation, or for an academic or public presentation. Contact Marc here.
