Companions

Members of the ministry will assist the priest at the funeral as altar server.  They will set up the altar, the lectionary to the readings chosen by the family and perform server duties at the funeral.  Members will also serve as Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist.

Mass of Remembrance

A Mass of Remembrance is celebrated on All Souls’ Day in November.  Each member will be supportive to the families in attendance.

Martha Ministry

If the family wishes, a meal will be prepared and brought to their home by members on the day(s) of viewing.  It need not be a formal meal, but something light for we know that the time between viewing is a time of respite for the family and they do not need to be running in circles preparing something to eat for family members.

Come Walk with Me

This is a six week grief-support group held in the Spring and in the Fall to assist families in the grief process and is open to all as they go through their journey.  This is directed by a trained facilitator.
