Bereavement

The Bereavement Ministry comes to the aid of those who have lost a loved one.  Members of this ministry assist the bereaved family with the selection of hymns, readings, and general planning of the family liturgy.  They also help to prepare and hand out programs, assist during the funeral Mass, and provide support afterwards.  An Annual Memorial Mass is also planned for all the deceased members of the year.  

Contact Donna Metz  (738-0330) or (Cell 305-7840) if you need assistance or would like to help with this important and rewarding ministry.
