Funeral Planning
Fr. Matt Pennington and Liturgy ministers meet with the grieving families. This provides an opportunity for those who have experienced the death of a loved one to join with others in a loving, healing environment to share their stories and experiences. Members of the Funeral Planning Ministry help parishioners and their families select appropriate scriptural readings, prayers and music that have significance for them and meets with families regarding environmental needs and any receptions that take place here at the church.

Home & Hospital Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion
Parishioners who feel called by compassion to be the presence of Christ to the sick and homebound are encouraged to join in this ministry.  Extraordinary Ministers visit and/or bring Holy Communion to Catholic patients who are confined in their homes, or in a hospital or care facility. Through administering the Eucharist, sharing prayers, listening attentively and offering reassurance, these ministers fulfill the call of compassion from Christ.  This is a rewarding ministry and training is provided.  Contact Candy Spahr at (805) 544-2357, ext. 202.
