During 4:30 PM Mass on the first Saturday of November we honor in a special way our parishioners who have died this past year (November 1 through October 31). A reception follows the Mass.

A Remembrance Luncheon is held monthly. It is an informal gathering on the 4^th Thursday of each month with a luncheon, for those persons in the IHM parish who have lost a loved one.

Volunteer to provide food (salad or bars) and/or serve and clean-up at funeral lunches. Commitment: Many hands mean less work, so please consider how you can help us. Approximately 4-5 times per year. Contact Parish Office 952-935-1432.
