Memorial Offerings

-
Remembering a loved one through a memorial offering is a meaningful way to honor their life while supporting the prayer and worship of our parish community.
St. Paul Parish offers several opportunities to make a memorial offering in memory of a loved one, in thanksgiving, or for a special intention. -
Altar Flowers
Altar flowers offer a beautiful way to remember a loved one, honor someone special, celebrate a significant occasion, or offer thanksgiving to God while helping to beautify our church for the celebration of the liturgy.
Parishioners may dedicate flowers for the Main Altar, Mary Altar, or St. Joseph Altar. Offerings may be made for one location or for multiple altars, depending on availability.
Flower offerings may be made:
- In memory of a loved one
- In honor of an individual or family
- In celebration of a special occasion, such as an anniversary or birthday
- In thanksgiving for a particular blessing or intention
The dedication will be acknowledged in the parish bulletin for the weekend the flowers are displayed.
- Main Altar: $175
- Mary Altar: $75
- St. Joseph Altar: $75
- All three altars: $300
Requests are scheduled according to availability and the liturgical calendar. Because the decoration of the church reflects the seasons and celebrations of the Church year, altar flower offerings may not be available on every weekend.
To request altar flowers, please complete the form below with your preferred date, altar location, and the wording of your dedication. The Parish Office will confirm availability.
During certain seasons of the liturgical year, individual altar flower dedications may not be available. At these times, parishioners are invited to contribute to our larger seasonal flower offerings, which help adorn the church for celebrations such as Christmas and Easter.

The Remembrance Chapel
The Remembrance Chapel at St. Paul Parish offers a quiet and prayerful place to remember those who have died and to entrust them to God’s loving care. Located within the church and in view of the altar, the chapel provides a dedicated space for prayer, reflection, and remembrance throughout the year.
Parishioners may dedicate a Remembrance Candle in memory of a loved one. Each candle remains illuminated 24 hours a day for one year, serving as a visible sign of prayer and of our Christian hope in the promise of eternal life.
With each dedication, a small brass plaque bearing the name of the person being remembered is placed beneath the candle. Their name is also inscribed in the parish Remembrance Book, which is ordinarily displayed in the center of the chapel.
On All Souls Day, the Remembrance Book is brought near the altar as our parish offers special prayers for those who have died.
Remembrance Candle Offering- Initial Offering: $150 per candle
- Annual Renewal: $100 per candle
At the conclusion of the initial year, families may renew the candle dedication annually.
The Remembrance Chapel is open throughout the day and into the evening for personal prayer and reflection, with access through the gate at the rear of the church.
To dedicate a Remembrance Candle, please email Nancy Jackson with the name of the person you wish to remember and your contact information. The Parish Office will follow up regarding your dedication and payment.
