Funeral Meal Ministry
This ministry provides a luncheon for bereaved family members and friends following a funeral liturgy. There are two facets of this ministry.

There are also members who help with set-up preparations, serving the meal, and clean up. If you are interested in helping with this ministry, contact the representative from your parish.
