FUNERAL MINISTRY

Rosary Reception, Meal Preparation

A simple reception of cookies and drinks is offered, as an option, in the Parish Hall after the Rosary for the family and friends of the deceased.

Parishioners bring sides or desserts for a funeral meal, provided by our parish. Help is needed to prepare, serve and clean up for the meal.

HOMEBOUND MINISTRY

Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist are encouraged to be a part of this ministry as there is often a need to have Holy Communion brought to those who are homebound. However, all ages are suitable to keep in touch with the homebound, elderly, or even the lonely of our parish, through visits, phone calls, emails, etc.
