The Funeral Ministry is here to help grieving families during their time of loss, as well as to provide assistance to the priest.

If you have recently lost a loved one and need to plan a funeral at St. Thomas the Apostle Church, please click here.

We reach out to families to offer our help in planning the Mass (readings, music, etc.). On the day of the funeral, we assist the priest in whatever capacity he needs us during the Mass.

Some of the things we may need to do are: set up the church, serve as ushers, lectors, extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion, altar servers wherever we are needed, and clean up afterward.

To get involved, please contact Susan Laurenzo at (973) 338-9190 x137 or susan.laurenzo@stachurchbloomfield.org.
