ST. SIMON SOCIETY

St. Simon Society which is based on the ministry of Simon of Cyrene who helped Jesus carry the Cross, serves as the Cathedral’s Bereavement Ministry. “If one member suffers in the body of Christ, which is the Church, all the members suffer with that member”. (1 Corinthians 12:26) The St. Simon Society ministry puts our faith into action.

St. Simon Society volunteers serve in pairs (He sent us out in twos). They are identifiable to others by magnetic ID badges that say, “Cathedral of the Incarnation.” Volunteer opportunities are set up to take from 1 to 3 hours. Detail needs are communicated for each event.

Funeral Greeters typically work with the parish and funeral home staff to prepare the church for the service, direct people to the service and building facilities, disperse programs, open and close doors, and straighten the church after the service.​​​

To volunteer for the St. Simon ministry, please contact the parish office.
