In the Year of Mercy we should remember that one of the corporal works of Mercy is to bury the dead.

Sacred Heart has a funeral ministry that consists of women who prepare the church for a funeral, greet the family members of the deceased, and help those who attend the funeral.  Currently there are thirteen women signed up for this ministry, with eight active participants.  The members work in pairs, and have been a much appreciated service to the families.  The more people participate, the wider the service can be spread.  If you can find it within yourself to help with this work of mercy, and it is not limited to women, please call Libby Dyer at 922-9443.
