Funerals

Funerals and receptions provide many opportunities to help. 

Food Donations

Donors provide salads and desserts for funeral receptions. Gifts of food are greatly appreciated and consoling to the grieving family. You are asked to provide food for approximately 10 people. You will be called, on average, every two months or so. You may deliver the food to the Pastoral Center. Food should be brought in disposable containers. We have dishes used for serving.

Reception Service Teams

The parish has four teams who set up, serve and cleanup for funeral receptions. Each team has a team leader who coordinates the volunteer team and takes care of getting supplies. The team leader also notifies the food coordinator, who calls a list of volunteers for salads and desserts for the reception. The teams will be called in rotation as needed.
