Our ministry consists of a group of volunteers who prepare funeral luncheons for parishioners who have lost a loved one. The option of a funeral lunch depends however on the availability of the parish hall. On occasion the hall may already be in use. Please contact the parish office to check on availability.

Funeral Lunch Menu:
  • Baked Chicken
  • Pasta with Tomato Sauce
  • Chicken and ham sandwiches (or tuna and egg on Fridays)
  • Green Beans
  • Tossed Salad
  • Fresh fruit salad (in season)
  • Hot Coffee/Tea, Cold Beverage
  • Assorted Desserts
A monetary donation to fund the cost of the luncheon food would be greatly appreciated. We will gladly heat and serve any food brought in by friends or family.

Ministry to Shut-ins

240651_1918661360560_3968276_oThe hospitalized, home bound, and those in nursing homes are unable to gather with us at church to participate in the Holy Mass and receive Jesus in the Holy Eucharist with the rest of our parish family.

To help meet some of their spiritual and social needs, Deacon Meadke is organizing a visitation program for shut-ins (as requested by our pastor) who will be visited by Extraordinary Minsters of Holy Communion. They will bring our Eucharistic Lord to these parishioners.

If you know of a parishioner who could benefit from this program, or if you would like to volunteer to minister to the shut-ins through either visiting and/or bringing Holy Communion to them, please call Deacon Maedke at 740-381-2115.
