May 1999 Members of the resurrection Ministry assist at all funerals and memorial Masses held at our parish church. They act as altar servers, lectors, and eucharistic ministers. Members greet the mourners at the doors of the church and also place the pall on the coffin. Most importantly, they represent the entire parish community in praying for the deceased and offering sympathy to the surviving family and friends. Since most funerals are held on weekday mornings, this ministry is ideal for retired persons, homemakers, and persons working afternoon and evening shifts.
Flexibility is important as there is usually only two or three days notice before a funeral.
