The Bereavement Ministry provides support during the difficult time of losing a loved one. Assistance is offered in planning the funeral liturgy, coordinating activities with the church, funeral home, musicians and celebrant. In this way, families are able to plan a service that is personal, meaningful and comforting to them.
 
Involvement in the Bereavement Ministry is best suited for someone
¨ Who would  be available on short notice or retired.
¨ Could volunteer during the day or on Saturday mornings. Depending on the need of the family situation or timeline.
¨ Be able to move around quickly. (Greeting family members and setting up the church for Mass)
