Grief-Support Group for Those Who Mourn

 

Are you looking for friends in Christ to share your journey of sorrow? Have you been trying to figure out the meaning of your grief? Do you want to get on with life but you haven't been able to? Do you find comfort in Christ's teachings? Are you open to new ways to cope with your grief? Are you tired of feeling alone?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, Seasons of Hope is for you! 

 

Seasons of Hope offers unique grief support for Catholics that focuses on the spiritual side of grieving the death of a loved one and invites individuals to meet Christ through scripture, prayer, reflection, and simple activities that offer comfort and help foster healing and spiritual growth. With the support of our faith community, we give voice to our unique journeys of grief and find healing and spiritual growth. This program is grounded in the healing wisdom, traditions and practices of the Church. 

Whether your loss is recent or long ago, if you are searching for our Lord in the midst of your grief, Seasons of Hope can help. It is a nurturing link to the Church, the Almighty, and people of faith who truly understand what it means to be brokenhearted.

Come and be comforted!

Using Journal One we will explore these themes:

  • our source of consolation
  • shattered dreams
  • finding joy
  • The Way of the Cross; and
  • untie him

Read what past participants have said:

"Seasons of Hope was what I needed. Although I have pain, the love and support helped me find joy in Christ and his Word. And I'm blessed with many new friends."

"I tried many bereavement groups. They were good, but something was missing. I kenw is was God. When Seasons of Hope began here, it was the answer to my prayers."
