Funerals are important occasions for our Parish family to be a loving, compassionate presence to grieving families and friends at a time when they need it most. These "Martha's" coordinate the donation of food, and serve a funeral luncheon or gathering to the family and friends of the bereaved following a funeral service.
We provide all of the paper products, luncheon food and beverages, set up, serving, and clean up at the reception. We package all remaining food for the families to take and share at their home with family and guests.
The services of the Martha Ministry are available to all parishioners of OLS. Non parishioners having a funeral at OLS that would like to utilize our services will be asked for a donation per reservation.
For more information, to volunteer, or to utilize our services, please contact Sue Dunn at 314-351-4673 or dunn.susan2@gmail.com or Maureen Ragsdale 314-780-1289 or ragsdalemaureen@gmail.com.
