[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 279178"] Myself and my 5 siblings and father are catholic, my mother was Lutheran. All of us kids went to a catholic school. I would say we were pretty strict Catholics. My mom went to her church. Growing up, the Catholic school we went to would call my mom for bake sales and such, but wouldn't allow her at mother/daughter breakfast or allow her to take communion when we recieved our sacraments. With the changing times, it was OK to take Holy Communion regardless if you were Catholic or not. Christian. You believe in your beliefs. In the summer when we lived at our cottage there was not a Lutheran church near by so my mother went to church with us. During the school year when we lived at home she went to her church. Rarely were we allowed to attend her church. They were married on the Navel base. In order to have the marriage blessed my mother had to sign a paper that all children would be raised catholic. When my father passed away we had the wake at the church prior to the mass. Others have the wake at a funeral home, then the mass of christian burial at the church, then the procession to the cemetary for the burial. In all my experience with funerals, all who attend the wake also attend the mass as well as the procession/burial and any after mass gathering. When my mother passed away last year, we did the same at HER church. It was most comforting for me to have MY friend come over a hundred miles to attend. My friend did not know my parents or my siblings. She was there to show her respect and support for me and my loss. Sorry for the loss. But as I have always been taught, the mass of christian burial is a celebration of a life. [/QUOTE]
