Hmmmm...his Layout today was at the EPISCAPOL St. Alban's school, and his Funeral is at the Kennedy Center, not at the Cathedral!! I am SHOCKED!! No devout Catholic wants his Funeral Mass anywhere else except the CHURCH.
The only news I saw said the affair at the Kennedy Center was a memorial service, not a funeral.
Like you, I am curious about whether he had or will have a funeral mass as well.
I know that the Episcopal Church is definitely different than the Roman Catholic church, even though they have many Catholic forms. But I know nothing about St. Alban’s...like did it used to be Catholic?
Would be interesting if he was a convert despite all the press. Will have to look into it.
Of course, the surviving spouse has final say in such arrangements no matter what a will says.
If you find out anything more, I’d be interested.
Tim Russert’s funeral Mass was held Wednesday morning at Holy Trinity Church in Washington, D.C. and was closed to the public. A separate memorial service was planned for Wednesday afternoon at Washington’s Kennedy Center
