The Bereavement Ministry provides desserts and salads to supplement food the family provides at receptions fol- lowing the funeral of members of their families. The min- istry is reaching out to parish members to join with this ministry and help provide the desserts and salads need- ed for these receptions.

Volunteering to help requires providing a dessert, or salad to feed approximately 5 people

Members are normally only solicited to provide food once a month.

The support volunteers providing food are greatly ap- preciated by the families of deceased members, and is a vital part of the corporal work of mercy to bury the dead.

If you would like to join this vital ministry please call the rectory office (926)381-5200.

The Spanish, Primera Comunion and English, First Holy Communion was recently held  May 12 and 19th respectively. Congratulations to all the children worked hard this year in CFF and were awarded for their hard work by receiving their First Holy Communion!

Corporal works of mercy are those that tend to the bodily needs of other creatures. They come from Isaiah 58 and the mitzvah of hospitality. The seventh work of mercy comes from the Book of Tobit and from the mitzvah of buri- al. The seventh work is to bury the dead.

Our Bereavement Ministry mission is to assist families in both spiritual and corporal ways to aid in the loss of a loved one. The ministry participates in vigil service, the burial mass and in providing comfort and a place for family mem- bers to meet and remember their loved ones.

The Parish provides the parish hall for the family to eat, unite and be reunited to honor and remember the loved one who has died. The ministry provides for the meal both des- serts and salads, to supplement the food provided by the family.
