Funeral Service Ministry:Members of the ministry create and serve a warm and loving lunch service at the time of the funeral.

The members are called to set tables, serve food and beverages, and provide clean up following the luncheon. Each funeral luncheon commands 3 – 4 service hours. To best serve the grieving family, each member must be mobile and able to stand during the lunch service. Members are rotated for service. Notice is generally 2 – 3 days prior to funeral service. Please contact the stewardship office at 763.862.4346 to become involved.

Funeral Food Ministry: Members donate salads, cakes, bars and rolls to be served by the Funeral Service Ministry at the time of the funeral. The food donors supply dishes based on the variety and amounted needed for the funeral. For example: salads, bars etc. The parish office contacts the members 2 – 3 days prior to funeral service. Food items can be brought to the parish office the night before or the morning of the funeral.
