Bereavement Support Team

Provides bereavement support to those parishioners who have suffered the loss of a spouse, relative or friend.  Facilitators coordinate Grief Support Groups every 6 to 12 months.  Individual one on one grief support is also available for those that are uncomfortable with a group environment.  Those involved make calls, deliver booklets and information on coping with grief, send letters and visit parishioners-in-need. Support normally continues for a year after a loss.  There are ten people involved with this ministry.
