Pam Edwards, as Director of Parish Life and Engagement, is honored to accompany a family when the time comes to plan a funeral. She is pleased to introduce our Bereavement Ministry, with the goal to help grieving families and to assist the deceased through our prayer and ritual in the journey toward heaven.
The thought of planning our own funeral may leave us feeling vulnerable and uncomfortable. However, pre-planning our funeral can ease our mind with the knowledge that our family will not be burdened with making these difficult decisions, during their own grief. Ultimately, we can feel at peace that our decisions will be honored and carried out.
We work closely with local funeral homes to offer pre-planning appointments. If you would like to pre-plan your Funeral Mass, please contact Pam at our parish office.
