When families lose a loved one, the details involved in last arrangements can be overwhelming. That’s why the women of Corpus Christi take so seriously their work in the funeral ministry.

 

Through their volunteer efforts, a delicious meal is prepared for the family and guests after the funeral service. The women of the parish, on a rotating basis, prepare salads and desserts, set up, serve and clean up afterward. St. Ann’s Society buys and prepares the meats for the meal, and the family pays a nominal sum per plate, kept to a minimum through the generosity of the women volunteers.

 

This service, happily performed by all involved, helps ease the burdens of the grieving

family,and tends to at least two of the corporal works of mercy: to comfort the sorrowing, and to bury the dead.

 

The names of all women of the parish are automatically placed on the funeral list,

unless they specifically request otherwise.
