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.
