In Paradisum

May the angels lead you into paradise,
may the martyrs receive you in your coming,
and may they guide you into the holy city, Jerusalem.
May the chorus of angels receive you
and with Lazarus once poor may you have eternal rest.

 

Funeral Receptions

Our ministry assists bereaved families who would like receptions following funerals at the parish. The church will suggest possible caterers and fees. We then host small and large receptions if facilities are available.

We aim to bring compassion, love, deepest sympathy, and some healing to all members of our parish who have lost a loved one.

Enjoy photos from our Bereavement Ministry breakfast meeting!

New members are always welcome. You can help with set-up, food preparation, or clean-up. Fill out our Volunteer Form and talk to Joy Castillo 865.5712!
