Comfort in Sorrow: Mindful of the pain and confusion death brings to the family of the deceased, these ministers convey the condolences of our parish family, help with the liturgy, and bring a cake made by other volunteers. Some serve as pallbearers when the family has no one for this service. It is a support in a troubled time.

This is an especially important ministry which maintains the spiritual and community links with the Parish. As a Corporal and Spiritual Work of Mercy, it is greatly appreciated by the people.
