The Funeral Ministry offers compassionate support to families as they prepare to celebrate the life of a loved one and entrust them to the mercy of God. Funeral Coordinators assist families in planning the funeral liturgy, including the selection of Scripture readings, prayers, and music. They also help communicate the funeral date, time, and location to the parish community.

Funeral Luncheon Ministry

The Funeral Luncheon Ministry provides hospitality and comfort to grieving families following a funeral. Volunteers help prepare food, set up, serve, and clean up for funeral luncheons. Parishioners may also be asked to provide casseroles, salads, desserts, or other dishes. Any remaining food may be offered to the family or shared with homebound members of our community.

For information or to volunteer, please contact Fran Zarimba at (231) 894-0133 or Elnora Machovsky at (231) 894-0359.
