Sts. Peter and Paul parish realizes that the death of a loved one is a very challenging time.  Members of the Bereavement Committee unite  in assisting the family during this time of need.

Volunteers respond immediately when notified of a death and are willing to provide assistance with the funeral reception or any other arrangements, if requested.

Our Bereavement Committee coordinates with the family to ensure that food is prepared and is ready to be served to the family and guests following a funeral.

Some members of this ministry assist with the preparation of baked goods or sandwiches at home, while others come to the parish and set up facilities for the reception and serve those who attend.

Follow-up calls may be made to family members for several months following a death.

If you need the services of this ministry or if you would like to volunteer to join this ministry, contact Merlene Peters 830-625-0345 or Carol Friemuth 830-625-6530.

God’s Healing Love is a Grief Support Ministry that offers comfort to families and individuals who have experienced the death of a loved one. Volunteers strive to be a source of God’s Love, Care and Support through personal contact to those experiencing grief.
