"Love is a one-way street. It always moves away from self in the direction of the other. When we stop giving we stop loving, when we stop loving we stop growing, and unless we grow we will never attain personal fulfillment; we will never open out to receive the life of God. It is through love we encounter God.”
St. Teresa of Calcutta

The Bereavement Ministry provides comfort, support, and encouragement to the family of the deceased. They accomplish this mission in various ways including funeral home visits, funeral attendance, sending cards and notes, and any other needs as requested by the deceased's family. They often work with the St. Stephen Women's Society to prepare meals for the families of the deceased. 

This ministry focuses on fostering a Culture of Life and Civilization of Love that affirms the dignity of all human life and supports women who are struggling as a result of an unplanned or untimely pregnancy, as well as women in need of healing from a previous abortion procedure.
