Funeral Ministry Planners are Needed
St. Joseph the Worker has trained parishioners to help the family of a loved one plan the their funeral liturgy. The funeral planners will also meet with those who would like to plan their own funeral liturgy. The funeral planners will provide support throughout the funeral planning process, offer suggestions, and guide the family through the funeral planning process. The funeral planners will meet with family members at the parish or in their home, whichever is most convenient. Contact Mike Lentz with questions at 763-400-7203 or mike@sjtw.net. * Funeral Liturgy Sacristans, Lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, Greeters Parishioners who minister and serve during our Funeral Liturgies as needed.

Funeral Luncheon Ministers
Funeral Luncheon Ministers are an integral part of the hospitality and welcome St. Joseph the Worker provides for families who are experiencing the death of a loved one. They are persons who shop for, cook, and serve funeral luncheons. We welcome younger persons being trained into this ministry by our faithful, efficient Seniors who show us how much fun it can be to serve together in this way. Also needed is a person or two who would be willing to do child care here in our nursery while these younger persons help in the kitchen and dining room. Contact Ann at 763-425-6279
