Widowed Group
The Widowed Group was formed in 1984 to give ongoing support to widowed men
and women. We welcome any person who has lost a spouse. We meet in the
school on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30 pm. Our meetings focus
on the feelings and needs of our members. We utilize films, speakers, and
published materials as a basis for discussion.
Two or three times a year we publish a newsletter with dates, times, and
locations of social activities which have been planned by the group. These
activities which occur once or twice each month, in addition to the meeting,
include: dinners in restaurants, Sunday brunches, theater productions, trips
to museums, a picnic, outings to Ravinia, Botanic Gardens, Navy Pier, Grant
Park concerts and any current event the group decides would interest them.
Members are free to come to any or all events and to bring a friend if they
wish.
Membership dues are $10 each year to help pay for supplies. Each year we
also plan a Spring and Fall weekend trip. Many have enjoyed these outings.
We are helping each other cope with our losses, sharing in rebuilding our
lives, and finding strength in our group. We invite all widows and widowers
in our parish and surrounding parishes to join us at any time. Come and meet
others who are experiencing the same loss.
"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is despair, let me bring hope,
where there is sadness, joy.”
Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi
