Bereavement Ministry

Mission

The Bereavement Ministry exists to provide compassionate support, comfort, and spiritual care to individuals and families during their time of loss. We offer funeral service preparation, emotional and practical assistance, and ongoing post-bereavement care, helping to guide grieving hearts with God’s love, hope, and healing.

What We Do

1 Support families of the deceased through funeral process preparation and assisting the families during the funeral mass. 

2 Follow up with the families of the deceased through phone calls and cards every quarter.

3 Deliver Easter Lilies to the next of kin during the Palm Sunday weekend. 

4 Host a candlelight mass during the All Souls week for the families members of the deceased. 

Who It’s For
