Funeral & Consolation Ministry

  • When someone we care about passes from this life to the next, we are here to help with funeral planning and other personal needs. The ministry offers support with:

    • Coordinating funeral arrangements with a priest

    • Scheduling the church and the mortuary

    • Assisting in choosing funeral or memorial Mass readings, lectors, and proper eulogies

    We are available as needed, and there are no meetings required. Our role is to provide guidance and presence during a difficult time.

  • Ministry of Consolation is an outreach program that offers support for parishioners who have suffered the loss of a loved one. The Ministry of Consolation will show the support and care of SCDA through assisting the parishioner with scheduling Mass Intentions, organizing visits from the Extraordinary Ministry to the Homebound, schedule meetings with the Priest, coordinate meals or food delivery, and an invitation to attend Embrace (Grief & Loss Support Ministry), if and when they are ready.
