BEREAVEMENT MINISTRY

We are a Ministry of Presence at Saints Faith, Hope and Charity Parish. We are parishioners who have been trained by the Archdiocese to offer comfort and assistance to our Parish families following the death of a loved one. We don’t intend to replace our priests, but to assist them. They are always the first ministers and will be very much involved in the planning process.

We are available to call on the family, bringing the sympathy of the Parish. We can explain the steps of planning a funeral, offer assistance in choosing the readings, and suggest ways in which the family members can be part of the ceremony.
