MINISTRY OF PRESENCE
For many people, the days following the funeral of a loved one are more difficult than the days of the Funeral Liturgies. After friends and relatives have gone home, their shock may turn to grief.
By being a caring presence to those in need we hope to help them not to be afraid of the real world but to live in it again and even love it again. They still suffer the loss but need to know that they are not alone in their grief. Through our Parish’s Ministry of Presence: Consolation and Bereavement, we reach them and offer them our pastoral care and assistance.
Let us pray that God may bless and sustain everyone in this parish ministry, with patience, courage and fortitude as they partake of God’s healing love, together with Mary our Mother.
