Grief Ministry

    Grief Ministers support our parishioners with the challenging transition
    associated with the loss of a loved one. Are you an empathetic person? A
    good listener? Do you like to help people ease their burdens? Grief is an
    experience we all feel at some point; it can be a challenging and unpredictable
    time, a roller coaster of emotions. If you feel a calling to assist in our ministry
    your help would be much appreciated and is rewarding in the knowledge that
    you can make a difference and ease someone's pain while they are mourning
    a loss.

    We make contact with a call and/or visit to people in the Parish who have lost
    a loved one. We try to provide support and solace in listening and with
    resources available.

    We also organize an annul Mass of Remembrance the 1st Sunday of
    November at the 11:am mass with a reception following for the families of the
    parishioners who have died during the preceding year.
