Our Funeral Liaison Ministry offers support, prayers, and guidance to grieving families who wish to prepare a personalized funeral for a loved one or pre-planning for those who would like to plan their own Funeral Masses. The volunteer meets with the family, usually at the church, to plan the Mass. Other areas of service are the Resurrection Singers who sing at Funeral Masses and Presence Ministers who greet, seat and assist those attending the funeral.
