Funeral Arrangements

Bereavement Ministry
Coordinator: Katherine Curran
This compassionate ministry has two parts: a committee and a support group. Committee members work with the family immediately after the death of a loved one, helping to plan the liturgy for the funeral Mass. This personal contact helps to ease the anxiety felt at a time of grief. The family is encouraged to take an active part in celebrating the life of the deceased as readers and gift bearers. Members assist as cantors, altar servers, lectors and Eucharistic Ministers. In May and November there is a Mass of Remembrance at which the names of all those buried from Our Lady’s within the last six months are read.
