A member of Altar-Rosary leads the rosary before all Masses at our church.

St. Julie Bereavement Ministry
The Church calls each member of Christ’s Body to participate in the ministry of consolation: to care for the dying, to pray for the dead, to comfort “those who mourn.” (Order of Christian Funerals, #8)
The goal of this ministry is the continuing development and implementation of a parish bereavement ministry that answers the need to serve grieving people in a special way.
At the present time the bereavement ministry consists of liturgy planning, the presence of a choir, greeters at the liturgy and St. Julie’s Heavenly Kitchen.
The Heavenly Kitchen helps coordinate and host a reception at our Fenmont Center or at the home of the family in need, following a funeral liturgy conducted by our parish for one of our members. Volunteers of this committee, "The Angel Brigade", prepare food, host the reception, or drop off food to the family home. This committee is a great way to reach out to fellow parish members in their time of need. For more information about this group contact one of the Chairpersons listed below.
This ministry can always use the talents and gifts of people in the parish. In visiting the bereaved, in liturgical planning/ministry (including Choir and greeters), in hospitality and in group-support, your assistance will be appreciated.


St. Peter in Chains Bereavement Ministry
Offers support and consolation to our parish family at the time of a parishioner’s death. Every parish member is invited to participate. Some members help by handing out the funeral Mass programs and answering any questions guests may have at the time of the funeral Mass. You may want to volunteer for the Resurrection Choir or to be available if the family requests a Lector or Eucharistic Minister. Other parishioners volunteer by organizing and making food for a luncheon served after the funeral. You might like to volunteer to make phone calls or help serve or clean up the luncheon.



Hamilton Catholic Pastoral Region Social Committee
The Social Committee brings the Pastoral region together to share food and fellowship several times during the year. The events are a great way to meet fellow parish members while sharing a delicious meal. This ministry welcomes new members and suggestions for events.
