Stoughton Catholic Collaborative 

of Stoughton 

The Ministry of Consolation is a volunteer group of parishioners from both St. James and Immaculate Conception who have received training to console and support those who have lost a loved one.  They assist our clergy by attending wakes, assisting with wake services, helping people with funeral Mass planning, serving at funerals and providing outreach to those requesting ongoing support.  The Ministry of Consolation also provides a grief support group roughly twice a year for participants to share their experiences with others in a small group setting.  In addition, a group of dedicated crafters get together to prayerfully knit and crochet prayer shawls which are given to caregivers and bereaved family members.  For more information, email [email protected] or call the parish office at 781-344-2073 and request a callback from Jane Griffin.
