Do you feel called to console the grieving and to provide practical support to people after the loss of a loved one?

Consider becoming a Bereavement Minister or Bereavement Hospitality Team Member!

• Bereavement Ministers meet with families to plan funerals and/or are present on the day of the funerals to answer questions for families, help with the Mass, and provide a prayerful presence. This Team also assists with planning All Souls Day Masses each year.

• The Bereavement Hospitality Team provides luncheons for families after funerals at IHM. Volunteers are needed to set up the luncheon on the day of the funeral—such as placing tablecloths, setting up food, decorating the room with family pictures or flowers, and cleaning up after. If you are looking for a more flexible time commitment, volunteers are also needed to drop off side dishes or desserts on the morning of the funeral.
