Liturgical Ministries Bereavement Support Ministry Our Bereavement Support Ministry tries to be the compassionate heart and hands of our Lord Jesus. No one can really feel or remove another's pain, but everyone can walk beside and support another who is sorrowful. Those involved in our Bereavement Ministry find that in supporting others, our own faith is nourished and deepened. Volunteers are asked to attend funeral Masses held at St. Mary's to offer support to the family and friends of the deceased. We ask you to prayerfully consider this wonderful ministry. This ministry does not require special training, and the time commitment is one hour on an as-needed basis. Funeral Preparation Team The work done by the volunteers on our Funeral Preparation Team is highly valued by all involved. This ministry requires individuals who are good listeners, are patient, and who can exhibit compassion with those experiencing loss. Members of our Funeral Preparation Team meet with the family members of the deceased to plan the funeral liturgy, perform a brief prayer service during the calling hours if necessary, assist with Funeral liturgy preparation/set up, and attend the Funeral Mass as support to the family. Training is offered for volunteers who wish to join this ministry. Training takes approximately 2-3 hours. Volunteers do not need experience in this role, however they should have good listening skills, compassion, and the ability to lead prayers in a private environment. The time commitment for a Funeral Team member for one Funeral Liturgy is approximately 8 hours over the course of 3-5 days, depending on the needs of the family. Funeral Reception Team T his ministry provides receptions following a Funeral Liturgy for the family and friends of the deceased. Volunteers for this ministry can help in several capacities: Providing food for the reception (typically breakfast, lunch, or snack foods) Assist with set up or clean up (2 hour commitment each; 4 hours if you choose to do both) Assist with serving food at the reception Training for this ministry is provided and takes about 1-2 hours.

How can knowing your temperament help you understand yourself better? How can knowing someone else's temperament help you understand her? How can knowing your temperament help you grow closer in relationship to God? Over three weeks in October 2022, presenters Christina Palazzoli and Michael Assaf of St. Rose of Lima Church introduced the 4 Temperaments, assisting us in determining our temperaments and guiding us in using this information to build a better relationship with ourselves, others and God!

Sacraments First Eucharist The Eucharist is the true Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, who is really and substantially present under the appearances of bread and wine, in order to offer himself in the sacrifice of the Mass and to be received as spiritual food in Holy Communion. It is called Eucharist or "thanksgiving" because at its institution at the Last Supper, Christ "gave thanks," and by this fact it is the supreme object and act of Christian gratitude to God. It is policy in the Diocese of Syracuse that children who are to be registered in First Sacrament Preparation (First Reconciliation and First Eucharist) must have attended Faith Formation classes at least one year prior to their registration. This will ensure that the children have a good foundation to begin their preparation for the Sacraments. Students who attend a Catholic school are exempt from being in the program one year prior to registering for the sacrament and are not required to attend weekly classes for Faith Formation, however they are required to attend the 5 sacrament prep workshops throughout the year. To register for this program, please visit sasmyouth.org or contact the Faith Formation Office at 315-635-5762, ext. 110.
