Cremation - Living Divine Mercy (EWTN) Ep. 244 w/ Fr. Chris Alar

In the 1960s, only 4% of Americans chose cremation for their deceased loved ones. Today, that number has increased to a staggering 53%, with projections of up to 83% of people choosing cremation by 2035. But does the Catholic Church allow cremation? And if so, why are there so many concerns? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains. Then hear about the St. Joseph of Arimathea Society, a group of high school students from Louisville, Kentucky, who assist in the work of mercy of burying the dead. Watch Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, and the Marian Fathers and Brothers from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy on our weekly show, "Living Divine Mercy," airing on EWTN every Thursday at 10 pm ET, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am ET. Through teaching segments, Bible and St. Faustina Diary excerpts, as well as real-life examples of people who are living Divine Mercy in their lives, you will learn why Jesus said Divine Mercy is mankind's last hope of salvation!
