Bereavement

FUNERAL LITURGY

A committee member visits the bereaved family to help them plan the funeral liturgy. Booklets are provided with suggested readings (Old and New Testament, and Gospel) and hymns to make the Eucharistic Celebration more meaningful to the family members of the deceased. Family members are offered the opportunity to participate in various areas of the Liturgy. The committee member will also explain what will happen during the Liturgy. 

FUNERAL SERVERS

Adults are trained to help at the funeral Liturgy. They prepare for and serve the Funeral Mass.

SUPPORT GROUP

St Jane’s Bereavement Support Group is a safe haven for grief, which is a normal and natural reaction to the death of a loved one. It is a place of compassionate listening where members support and hold each others pain. Please check the bulletin for dates and place of the meetings.
