“Well, your child may have departed from you, but he has gone to Christ the Lord. For you his eyes have been shut, but they are opened to the eternal light: he is gone from your table, but is now added to the table of angels. The plant was uprooted from here, but planted in paradise" - Saint Gregory of Nyssia 

James Augustine Copley, son of Chris & Destiny was born not to this world, but to eternal life on May 3rd, 2025. 

While we celebrate reasonable hope of his union with the Angels and Saints to glorify God, the family has been asked to shoulder not only an unimaginable grief but also final expenses and unexpected medical bills.

Due to the nature of his work, any time Chris needs to take now in order to be with the family at this time will have financial impact for months. 

While we can not ease their pain, we can help to carry them through this difficult season of life.

First and foremost through prayer, but secondarily through donations to help offset expenses and ease the financial burden. 

Up to $500 raised will go towards priestly stipends for Novena Masses for the intentions of James and the Copley Family, with the remainder being sent to Chris & Destiny for use at their discretion.
