New - Bereavement Support Group at OLG
The Bereavement Ministry at Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish will be offering in-person monthly support group meetings for those who are experiencing the loss of a loved one. Whether your loss occurred one month ago or 10 years ago, grief has no timeline and is a lifelong journey that we must all navigate.
One way to help you navigate your grief is to share it with those who understand your emotional pain and who have experienced the same challenges of this new life of loss.
We look forward to welcoming you at "The Next Chapter" Our Lady of Guadalupe Bereavement Support Group. The meetings will take place on the third Monday of every month in the St. John Paul II Conference Room, Parish Life Center, from 7 to 9 p.m.
"The Next Chapter" welcomes OLG parishioners as well as anyone in our local community who is grieving and looking to build community. Let's walk along with others who can help us build the tools to move forward in honoring the memory of our loved one. We welcome you to join our peer support community to navigate, learn and share with others coping with the sadness of grief.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP to our Bereavement Coordinator.
