Church Life Ministries

Baking / Funeral Luncheons 

Several times throughout the year, volunteers are asked to provide baked goods for sales, fundraisers, dinners, etc.

Funeral luncheon buffets are prepared and served to families as needed, upon request, following funeral Masses. With each funeral, individual parish volunteers are called to provide a side dish, salad, or dessert, and bring it to the church on the day of the service. A team of volunteers is also present to set up, serve, and clean up the meal.
