The Martha Ministry offers service and support to parishioners’
families at the time of death of their loved one. Upon notification of the
death of a parishioner, the Martha Minister contacts the family to offer
various kinds of services; errands, baking, etc. which are provided by the
Martha Helpers.
A Martha Minister attends the Funeral Service/Mass at which time a Prayer
Shawl, made by a member of the SPN Prayer Shawl Ministry, is presented to
a family member. Martha Ministers provide ongoing emotional and spiritual
support through home visits and/or phone calls and ongoing prayers for the
deceased parishioner and their family.
There is a brief orientation provided for those who are interested in joining
the Martha Ministry.
If you or a loved one is interested in Grief Counseling please contact Marlene
Leidy, Parish Outreach Coordinator for information. Call 215-679-9275 ext. 6
