"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4
If you have lost a loved one to death, you don?t have to go through the processes alone. We will walk alongside you through one of life's most difficult experiences.
We serve parish families with funeral planning in the event of a loved one's death or the imminent need to plan for a funeral knowing death is near. Following a loss of a loved one, we remain available to the grieving for support and prayer.
If you experience the death of a loved one, please contact the parish office as soon as possible to begin making arrangements. We will contact you to answer immediate questions and to set a time to meet with you to address additional concerns and to make selections for the funeral rite.
"If we died with him,
we will also live with him" 2 Timothy 2:11 -

Our Widow/Widower Group meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm. We offer a safe and confidential environment in which to share and journey through grief together and support those experiencing specifically the death of a spouse.
