As stewards of the many graces God has given to each of us through our baptism, we are all called to serve God and our neighbors. There are many opportunities at St. Louis to respond to that baptismal call whether in the liturgy, teaching, service, or prayer. Please consider making an offering of time to become involved in living out our Christian mission!

Bereavement Teams is an outreach program that provides a source of food and comfort to our registered families grieving the loss of a loved one. Teams serve in rotation, providing the deceased parishioner’s immediate family with a meal in their home either before or after the funeral. A Mass is offered for the deceased if the family does not need a meal. Occasionally, several bereavement teams may coordinate a meal in the Parish Activity Center for larger funerals, if space is available.
