Lazarus Ministry

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” – Matthew 5:4

Have you heard of the Lazarus Ministry and wondered, “What is that?” This important ministry is comprised of dedicated parishioners who are called upon to help provide funeral luncheons in our parish.

There are approximately 140 parish volunteers on the call lists to assist in one or more of the many tasks needed to provide a comfortable environment and meal after a funeral Mass: delivering a salad or dessert, food preparation, table set up, service during the luncheon, and clean up afterward. While the majority of our volunteers are on the list to provide a salad or dessert, approximately 40 are workers on one of four rotating “teams” that do the advanced preparation, food service, and clean-up. Each
team is organized by a Lazarus Ministry coordinator and rotates monthly.

Join the Lazarus Ministry Team as we comfort those who mourn through providing funeral luncheons. Many hands make light work in ways small and big: from salad or dessert donation to kitchen help. If you would like more information or feel called to join this ministry, OR if you are currently on our food and/or worker list and would like to be removed or have contact info updated, please contact Shawn at shawnlobertmarks@icloud.com
