This ministry provides a light buffet lunch after funeral services on the Divine Savior campus. Members of this ministry are called on to provide salads or desserts for the meal. Other members set up, decorate and serve at the reception. We prepare a place of welcome, comfort and peace for the family and friends of the departed.
