BEREAVEMENT MINISTRY
​
“Praised be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all consolation! He comforts us in all our afflictions and thus enables us to comfort those who grieve with the same consolation we have received from him.”
-- The Order of Christian Funerals
​
​
The Bereavement Ministry is here to support those who are suffering a significant loss. Our mission is to assist our members in acknowledging and understanding their grief, as well as offer a Catholic Christian faith perspective that brings hope and healing to their bereavement. ​
