A funeral luncheon buffet is provided for bereaving families upon request. Volunteers are needed to act as a chairperson, to make phone calls, to help serve the buffet or to prepare one entree on an as-needed basis. Volunteers are asked to help two or three times a year. The Gospel of Life Committee seeks to educate people regarding all pro-life issues and inform people of the legislative actions necessary to protect human life from conception to natural death. We are called to celebrate life through prayer and liturgy and to serve those who are in need.
Several programs take place during the holiday season.
Thanksgiving food baskets are assembled and delivered to families in need. The Youth Group sets up the Christmas Giving Tree in the church narthex. Gifts are collected for various community organizations, as well as for members of our parish who are homebound and for those in need. Christmas poinsettias are delivered to family members who have suffered the loss of a loved one during the year. A candlelight Holiday Remembering Ceremony is held to honor family members and friends who are deceased.
