Bereavement Ministry

There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. A time to be born, and a time to die, a time to weep, and a time to laugh, a time to mourn, and a time to dance

- Ecclesiastes 3:1-2,4

MISSION
Grief is a complex process, unique to each individual, based on personal response, circumstance of death, and relationship to the person who died. Our  bereavement ministry is there to reach out and journey with those parishioners who have experienced the loss of a loved one. 

MEETING SCHEDULE
Twice a year for six weeks we have our bereavement support group meetings to help one find understanding, acceptance, safety, growth, and hope.

ACTIVITIES
Each year this ministry helps the staff plan a special service held on or near the feast of all souls, November 2nd. At this special liturgy all who have died in the past year are remembered. Family members get a special invitation to attend this liturgy and a reception afterwards.
