B' Frienders (Funeral Receptions)

MINISTRY OF CONSOLATION TO THE BREAVED

When a member of Christ’s body dies, the faithful are called to a ministry of consolation to those who have suffered the loss of one whom they love. Parish members are invited and encouraged to participate in this ministry in the following ways:

• participating in funeral services
• praying for the deceased
• comforting those who mourn,
• volunteering to serve as a member of the B'Frienders.

B' Frienders is a group of parishioners who may be available to assist a parish family with their funeral reception, i.e. “house-sit” during services; set up and/or serve at the family gathering after the funeral services. All requests for B' Frienders services must be made through the parish priest.

Please let us know if you are interested in this ministry or if you want additional information.
