For those of you who were unable to attend the Requiem Mass for Carl Crosier (1945-2014), I am now posting the service booklet and the audio of the entire service here. If you would like to listen to the audio clips, I suggest that you print out or view the PDF of the service booklet on your screen so you can follow along. Because St. Theresa’s Co-Cathedral is a very large and reverberant building, it is sometimes difficult to understand the spoken word, so having the service booklet in front of you will be helpful.
I will share the text of the homily in a separate post.

Thank you so much for this, Kathy.
I would love to subscribe to Kathy’s Blogs: Another Year of Insanity….
Thank you for posting this, Kathy. Being present was definitely the plan but it was not to be. I was definitely there in spirit. I have heard from many friends who were there how transcendently beautiful the service was – of course Carl was incapable of planning anything that wasn’t as close to perfect as we are able to be. Your generosity of self and spirit moves me deeply. Mahalo. Aloha
[…] on the Revelations 21:1-4 text which was also sung at Carlʻs funeral mass (see my post “Requiem“). I liked the fact that there was no prelude except for the tower bell ringing, and no […]
[…] As it turns out, I did play for the funeral at St. Andrew’s Cathedral yesterday, but spent most of the 2-1/2 hour-long service sitting on the bench and listening to eulogies drag on and on — over an hour or more!

The son who was delivering the first eulogy was up to only recalling events which happened in 1956! Three other grandchildren also spoke at length. It made me appreciate the beautiful (and brief in comparison!) funeral mass we had for Carl Crosier. (Read about it here.) […]
