Unbeknownst to many, not all African-Americans are Protestants (Baptist or Pentecostal) or Moslems. Statistically 13% to 15% of the Black population in the United States identify themselves as or are devout practicing Roman Catholics (this percentage is far greater when one includes Africans from the African Continent now living in the United States). Aaliyah and her family was/are in that number and, in fact, Aailyah and her brother Rashad were raised and educated theologically and culturally in the Roman Catholic faith. As a Roman Catholic, Aailyah was entitled to a Roman Catholic Funeral Mass (aka Rite of Christian Burial), a ceremony her family obviously opted for at her tragic and untimely departure. One can only presume St. Ignatius Catholic Church was the family's parish or church community in New York. Many Roman Catholic African-American celebrities have been buried out of this church, such as the late great Lena Horne, etc.
