Our SKDP Bereavement Ministry will enlist Funeral Planners who will meet with the family to assist with planning the funeral liturgy. Volunteers will provide vigil prayers for the deceased at the funeral home the day before the funeral. Members will continue ongoing outreach to those in need that will offer comfort and care.

will be comforted." (Mt 5:4)

Lifeline of Listening Friends
“Lifeline of Listening Friends” is organized by volunteers to help those who've lost a loved one journey through the grieving process.
In today's society people are expected to ‘get-over’ the loss of a loved one quickly. This is not always realistic. We know that there are many ways to grieve. We support each person’s right to grieve in an individual and unique fashion.
