Help! Catholic funeral on Sat and need some advice

No food is allow at viewing; if you’re having a Lunch/luncheon is not at the church but at Parish Center(which is usually the building right next to church or at the basement of church.) I strongly recommend to call the Parish and ask logistics, they will walk you through.

And OP and her grieving sister will not actually be allowed to participate. Sad when the widow is excluded from her own husband's funeral.

Huh?

OP and her sister will be very welcome at the Mass. They'll get a blessing rather than a host, but they'll definitely be able to participate.

Being denied the Eucharist is disgusting. Only a Catholic can justify denying a person a means of God's grace.

You obviously don’t get the “communion” concept. Further, if a person is not baptized, they would not receive sacramental grace anyway. Still further, if a person is not in the proper moral condition (“the state of grace”) they might well not receive sanctification but rather “eat and drink unto their own condemnation” as St. Paul discusses.

I understand it perfectly well. Your church uses a sacrament as a weapon to try to convert people and punish those who refuse. It's an appalling misuse of power.
