St. Michael Parish is in the planning stage of offering Bereavement Support to our parishioners. We would like to have a Bereavement Committee at each of our churches to offer support, guidance, funeral receptions, and more.
Specifically it would involve the following:
*make an early phone contact with the family on behalf of the parish
*send sympathy card/s to the family
*help coordinate a family reception in the Church Hall after the service
*follow-up phone contact with the grieving family over the year
*follow-up card to the family on the one year anniversary of death
*notification of fellow parishioners
There are also other needs that can/may arise.
If you are interested in this ministry, please call Peter Bourque at 623-5333.
Thank you for considering this most important ministry.
