Cardinal Timothy Dolan will celebrate the Mass for the parents of deceased children of any age at 10:15 a.m. on Sunday, April 23, at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

“The Office of Family Life seeks to accompany anyone who is experiencing grief due to the loss of a loved one. We look forward to welcoming parents (and family members) who have lost a child of any age to the Mass. This Easter season provides an opportunity to celebrate the joy of the resurrection,” said Theodore Musco, director of the  Office of Family Life of the Archdiocese of New York.

At this Mass, the deceased children of any age, as well as their parents will be remembered. Parents must know that they are not alone in mourning the death of their child.
