Ministry of Consolation | Martha’s Vineyard
Two ministries in St Mary’s have been quietly serving families who are grieving the loss of a loved one.
Ministry of Consolation
The Ministry of Consolation (MOC) is a group of dedicated parishioners who gather to give prayerful and spiritual support to bereaved families at wakes. Through our prayers and intercessions, we hope to bring the presence of Christ and the support of the Church to these people during their period of bereavement.
Together with the guidance of the friars, this ministry also nurtures the spiritual growth of its members through talks and retreats conducted by invited speakers.

Martha's Vineyard
Martha’s Vineyard is a ministry at St Mary’s devoted to walking alongside families in their time of grief, offering support with love, compassion, and dignity during funeral Masses. What makes the ministry truly special is not only the practical assistance we provide but also the quiet presence, understanding, and prayer shared alongside our Friars. Through this collective effort, we help ensure that every farewell is a meaningful and heartfelt send-off, grounded in faith, respect, and unity.
