Funeral Planning/Support Groups

St. Raphael offers a bereavement group several times a year as needed. The group is open to anyone who has suffered the loss of a loved one and meets weekly for a six-week time period.

Counseling resources are available through the Director of Service Ministry and Pastoral Care; counseling referrals can also be made.

Typically family members meet with a parish funeral planner at Church to prepare the liturgy for the deceased. You will be guided in selecting scriptures, music, and personalizing the intercessions.
