Our mission is to acknowledge the loss of a loved one on behalf of the parish community. To accomplish this, we establish contact with the grieving family (sympathy cards and phone calls) and provide information about community grief support services, reading material, and inspiration (in packets mailed to the family). Some of the activities we sponsor to further our mission are listed below.
- Support group meetings for six consecutive weeks, twice a year.
- Memorial Mass and Reception on a Sunday in November to honor the loved ones of the parish community who died during the previous year (1 October-30 September).
- “Book of the Names of the Dead” during the month of November with the names of deceased loved ones inscribed by parishioners.
- Weekly Mass Intentions posted on vestibule bulletin board.
- Cards sent as a remembrance on the first anniversary of a loved one’s death.
Should you need additional information, please contact parishioner Patricia Anderson at [email protected].
