• A small, private burial service will be held at the convenience of the family.
• While most priests, deacons, former parishioners, etc. are unable to attend the burial service for Fr. Lewandowski due to the current restrictions,  a Mass celebrated for the respose of his soul will be held at a later date to be announced.
