2. The Funeral Mass; and,
3. At the place of interment.

“Lazarus Ministers” will be  trained to go out in pairs to provide the Prayer Service(Wake) at the funeral home (1) and offer the committal prayers at the place of interment (3).Deacon Ray Latour and Deacon Rich Reck and our Bereavement Minister Cindy Novak are able to provide much guidance from their training and experiences as well.Please contact Fr. Tarantino at 973-895-4224 x112 or fr.tarantino@resurrectionparishnj.org

“ACOLYTE” MINISTRY
“Acolytes”(ages 18-60) will be trained to be present and assist the Presider at weekend Masses whenever a Deacon is not present.  This ministry involves knowledge of how to open and close the parish building; understanding the workings of the HVAC in the building; and, assisting the Presider in non-deaconal functions.  They will not serve as Ushers, Readers, or Eucharistic Ministers at that same Liturgy.
