Funeral Luncheon Team

Ministry Leader: Barb Behm

Age Groups: Teens, Adults, Seniors

This team steps up to serve lunch for funerals. Assist in preparing the meal, setting up the Social Hall, and cleaning up afterwards. As we all know, loss is such a challenging thing to face. Planning a funeral while grieving is a hard task, so we ask that those in the community come forward and comfort those in pain through this ministry. By donating your time, you allow the grieving family to take comfort in the fact that someone in our St. Patrick community is there for them. We are not a parish of individuals, we are a parish family. When one of us loses a family member, it is a loss we all feel. Please consider serving this ministry and your St. Patrick neighbors.

Weekend Fellowship

Age Groups: Children, Teens, Adults, Seniors

St. Patrick is all about hospitality and fellowship! A great way to offer a warm and welcoming environment is with great food and conversation. Our Weekend Fellowship offers a place for new friendship to form and old ones to continue.

Our Weekend Fellowship menu consists of cookies twice a month, donuts and muffins once a month, and cake for special occasions. Our delicious selections are always served up with fresh hot coffee, orange drink, water, and most importantly a smile!

Each team is scheduled for one Mass per month. The time commitment is about 30 minutes to set up before Mass and about 40-60 minutes after Mass to serve and clean up.
