I lead the Bereavement Ministry, meeting with grieving people very two weeks for a period of 6-8 weeks and help them with their grief. Prayer shawl Ministry meets once a month. We provide prayed shawls for our parishioners, hats and gloves for the homeless, layette sets for single moms, lap robes for veterans and countless other services throughout our community. I assist with teaching CCD classes to our middle schoolers and offer them support with their service hours. I am a member of Wisconsin Nursing Honor Guard which offers support to families of nurse at the time of death. I volunteer through our Saint Vincent DePaul Society.
