On Friday, April 23, the Seniors’ Ministry of Immaculate Conception/St. Joseph Parish, New Lebanon, will host its regular monthly get-together at 11:30 am. This month, funeral director and parishioner, Bob Dwyer, will explain some of the more recent changes in the Catholic funeral Mass and burial service, including cremation rites. He will also discuss regulatory issues, such as embalming, transporting the deceased person across state lines and local requirements for burial vaults. In addition, Dwyer will present some of the cost related factors that can help families to make appropriate choices.
The parish hall is located at 732 US Route 20, in New Lebanon. After the program, all are invited to enjoy a light lunch at no charge. Everyone from the community is welcome to attend. We will have several door prizes and a 50-50 raffle to benefit Charlie’s Pantry. Please call Mary Linton at 518-733-0469 for more information.
