Welcome!
My name is Rev. Joe McLaughlin. I am blessed to be part of the celebration of your loved one’s life and legacy. I would like to introduce myself to you.
Ceremonial ministry, for me, is a continuation my spiritual calling as well as my desire to serve God’s people. I served for five years as an ordained priest in the Roman Catholic Tradition and was then led toward prayerful contemplation of God’s call toward marriage and family. Upon taking a leave of absence from the Tradition, I was blessed to meet my loving wife, Christina. Our marriage has been a walk down a joyful path blooming with growth, support, and fellowship. I am honored to continue my ministry by working with families to plan for their spiritual and ceremonial needs.
I believe that I am able to bless families by providing a ceremony that is both solemn and celebratory, matching the desires and wishes of family members with appropriate spiritual components to adequately express appreciation and sentiment toward the loved one passed. I empathize with families of the difficulties that can sometimes be present when planning a ceremony to let go of a loved one that is dear to their hearts. It is my desire to make this planning as effortless as possible, providing spiritual guidance and planning to ensure a peaceful memorial ceremony.
In this packet, you will find information regarding memorial service options and fee schedules, as well as other helpful details. Please do not hesitate to contact me by phone (717-672-0957) or email (cjm702@gmail.com) with any other questions you may have. I look forward to working with your family.
Yours in Christ,
