FUNERAL HOSPITALITY MINISTERS!
Pax Christi is blessed with an active, committed group of volunteers who provide the hospitality of a meal for family and friends following the Funeral Mass of a loved one. Some volunteers come to Pax Christi to set-up, serve, clean up, or dish wash, others provide salads and desserts upon request, and some offer to call other Funeral Hospitality volunteers to action when notified of an upcoming funeral. Call Renee Reardon, 952-405-7200, if you would like to join Funeral Hospitality Ministry.
A message to all who donate food for Funeral Hospitality: Your empty serving dishes are now waiting for you to pick them up in the Bill W. Lounge (Room #130). Please stop by soon. Thank you for sharing your culinary gifts!
