The Bereavement Ministry is an outreach program that serves parishioners and their families of Christ the King Church who have lost a loved one.  The members of the ministry are trained to successfully implement our mission to give comfort, support and guidance to the grieving families of our Church community.

What is the scope of the Ministry?
The members of the ministry personally reach out to grieving parishioners and families with comfort, support and guidance through:

• Assisting in preparing for the Mass of Christian Burial (the funeral mass).
• Facilitating all the necessary arrangements for visitation at Church (if requested), the music, the sacristans, servers, Eucharistic ministers, programs etc.
• Attending the funeral.
• Being a liaison between families and priests, music director, etc.
• Organizing and serving food at reception or delivered at home meal.
• Sending notes and cards.
• Follow up care during the first year.
• Offering additional resources if needed.
• Organizing arrangements for All Souls Mass.
