Blessed are those who mourn,
for the Kingdom of God is theirs.
- Matthew 5
Everyone deals with loss at one time or another and this ministry offers ways to comfort the bereaved during their time of grief and mourning. Most often, it begins at the time of the funeral where a connection is made between the Liturgy, the Pastor, and those in the Ministry of Consolation. This ministry can be spiritually enriching both for the bereaved and those who serve in the parish community.
