ST. MARY OF THE PINES

The Bereavement Committee is a ministry whose mission is to reach out to parishioners who are mourning the death of a loved one. In providing consolation, support and hope, we make an effort, as representatives of their Catholic community, to share their grief.

They provide prepared food, sympathy cards, Spiritual Remembrance cards, and helpful literature to numerous families who have experienced the loss of a loved one. 

In November, a Memorial Mass is offered for all our deceased loved ones with special remembrance for those who have died since the previous November. At Christmastime, a Memorial Tree is placed in Church. The parishioners are encouraged to decorate the tree in remembrance of their deceased loved ones.

In order to continue to serve those who are grieving, this ministry needs your assistance. Since there are so many opportunities to serve on the committee, many hands are needed. Please consider joining.

Starting after November 12!
