Bereavement Committee
This ministry serves to offer support to grieving parishioners by providing a few food trays during the funeral services of a loved one. The trays are picked up by a parishioner from a local store and delivered to an address given to us by the deceased parishioner’s family member.

Christmas Giving Tree
Volunteers assist with placing Giving Tree tags on the Christmas tree the week of Thanksgiving. This ministry serves our local families in the Nederland ISD. Volunteers are also needed to help sort and bag gifts prior to the schools picking up the gifts to distribute to families. This ministry only runs from the end of November through the week before Christmas. Those wishing to volunteer should contact the youth or the religious education office.
Greetings by Mail
Ministry members mail cards from St. Charles Parish to parishioners who have been hospitalized, or who have lost a family member. Cards are a way to let our parishioners know that we care and are thinking of them.
Homebound Ministry
These volunteers visit and pray with St. Charles parishioners who have become homebound; they occasionally check on a homebound parishioner’s welfare and safety during extreme weather by telephone.
Hospital Visitation
The ministry members visit St. Charles parishioners in area hospitals when the parish office has been notified of a hospitalization. Family members of parishioners are encouraged to contact the parish office each time their loved one is hospitalized.
Hospitality
These volunteers assist with parish receptions and/or special events, including missions, sacramental receptions, etc. (3-5 times a year). Volunteers share their talents of organizing, floral arranging, baking goodies, being hosts/hostesses and offering a friendly smile.
