Bereavement Ministry

This ministry comforts the bereaved survivors and offers assistance at the time of death in coordination with a priest.  This ministry also assists the family in planning the funeral liturgy with music, readings, and other requests of the family.

For more information contact Deacon Larry Hurst at (562) 296-9000
