Bereavement & Hospitality Ministry
We welcome the family of the bereaved to a comfortable and inviting atmosphere where they can greet family and friends after a funeral in the Saint James Parish Center. Our hospitality service includes set-up, assisting the caterer, and clean up. Parishioners also assist by baking.
If you are interested in serving as chairperson for this ministry, or are willing to bake, please call Celeste at the Parish office. Thank you.
Temporary Bereavement Chair is Ann Kjellberg who has graciously consented to perform this role until a permanent person steps forward.
Funeral Acolyte - Fr.Anthony Mpagi
During the funeral Mass, adult parishioners assist the priest and deacon in ways similar to altar serving. Training is provided.
