Purchased foods are also accepted. We recommend that you place the food in disposable containers as it is difficult to return any dishes to you. Any non-disposable serving dishes will be left in the kitchen of the Parish Center in a marked bin under the counter for you to pickup.

Please label the food “Funeral Luncheon” Put your name on the dish and instructions for heating, etc., if necessary. Food may be dropped off in the kitchen of the Parish Center the morning of the funeral, unless other arrangements have been made. If the dish needs refrigeration place it in the right side of the refrigerator.
