Grief Support Ministry

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted" (Matthew 5:4).


The path of grief is a uniquely personal journey, but it is not one you are meant to walk alone. In our Catholic GriefShare ministry, you will find a safe and welcoming space to share your story, your pain, and your fears with others who understand. We believe that healing is a process, and by leaning on our faith and on one another, we can find comfort and hope in the midst of sorrow.

If you are hurting from the loss of a loved one, we encourage you to attend our Grief Support Meetings.
