Grief Support
Bereavement Ministry
A small group of parishioners, having felt called to minister to the sorrowing and grieving, have undertaken to provide consolation, support, and direct practical assistance to individuals and families who have experienced the death of a loved one. These ministers strive to ease the burden of those involved in planning a funeral liturgy, be it a liturgy/Mass or memorial service. They are able to assist with the grieving process, explain and help the grieving select the elements of a prayerful and respectful liturgy, act as liaisons between the family and the priest, ministers, musicians and others, as needed, as well as assist in accessing resources available before, during, and after a death occurs.

Grief Support Group
The Grief Support group is a faith-based group which provides an opportunity for those who have lost a family member to deal with their grief in an atmosphere of care and support. The group brings together people who are working with the consequences and pain of losing a loved one. It is a safe place where you can tell your story, a community where you can share your struggles and pain. The support group is a forum where you can ask the big questions: Why Me? Why Now? The support group is not a therapy group but it is therapeutic. The group meets on the second and fourth Wednesdays from 4:00-5:30 p.m. in the Guadalupe Room.
