The Ministry of Consolation at St. Lawrence is grounded in the conviction that we can bring immeasurable comfort and reassurance to one another in times of great sadness and loss.  Our Ministers of Consolation offer the precious gift of their time, presence and sympathy to those who have lost a loved one.  Ministers represent the concern of the larger parish by helping family members plan the funeral liturgy, and assisting in the preparation for, and celebration of, the Mass of Christian Burial.  This ministry can be deeply rewarding—those involved have the opportunity to reflect the compassion of Christ himself at a time of real distress for those who are grieving.  To learn more, contact the rectory office.
