BEREAVEMENT LUNCHEON MINISTRY 

​

Blessed are they who mourn . . .But who shall comfort me?

 

In an effort to care for our grieving Saint Michael family members, we serve lunches to parish families celebrating Masses of Christian Burial here at Saint Michael. This ministry has been a Saint Michael standard for decades.  We have about 30 funerals at Saint Michael per year but not all families wish to have their luncheon in the hall.  Each luncheon takes about 10-15 volunteers including one coordinator.  Our goal is to ask each volunteer to serve only 4-5 times a year.  In order to realize this goal, we will need many volunteers.

SUPPORT OUR BEREAVEMENT LUNCHEON MINISTRY

Thanks to a wonderful group of people who have dedicated themselves to our Bereavement Funeral Luncheon Ministry we are able to offer this to our parish families. To assist in the funding for this ministry, there is a once-a-year envelope in our offertory packets. But we are grateful to accept monetary donations at any time. Thank you in advance for your generosity, and thank you to all who are offering their service and compassion to this ministry.

If you think you are called to this ministry, please print and fill out the appropriate volunteer form and put it in the collection basket. 

​

As our ministry to the grieving families of our Parish evolves, we would like to be able to offer homemade desserts to be served with the Bereavement Luncheon.  Our parish does such a great job supplying desserts for the fish dinners and it would be nice to offer the same to the families served through this bereavement ministry.  If you would be willing to volunteer for this ministry or make a dessert for a Bereavement Luncheon, please print and fill out the appropriate form below and place it in the collection basket or turn it into the parish office.  You will be placed on a list and called when we have a need. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
