Father Arul Carasala
(KMZA)--Funeral services are set for Father Arul Carasala, the Seneca Priest of Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, who died after being gunned down outside his home April 3.
Seneca's Lauer Funeral Home is handling arrangements.
A Tulsa, Oklahoma man, who grew up in Seneca, 66-year-old Gary Hermesch, has been formally charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death.
Father Arul will lie in state, at the church, Wednesday, with rosary prayers to be offered at 1, 3, 5, and 7 pm. He will then lie in state with an overnight vigil until 9:00 Thursday morning.
A memorial mass will be Thursday morning, at 11:00, at the Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, in Seneca.
Due to limited seating, the Mass will be livestreamed on Youtube.
Following the Seneca service, Father Arul will return to his home country of India for a service and burial.
