What is the Saint Simon Grief Support Group?
This faith-based support group brings together members of the Saint Simon Parish community who are experiencing grief from the loss of a loved one. Whether it’s the loss a spouse, a parent, a sibling, a child, or any other close loved one, we all benefit from support and companionship from others who have experienced similar experiences. We are here to support each other through discussion and prayer. During these sessions, we will examine the common stages of grief to help participants understand the very natural and important process of grieving. We usually on the 2nd Thursday of the month at 7:00pm in the Holy Family Room (sometimes changes due to Gavin’s work schedule). Join the mailing list email: communications@stsimon.org
Who is the group for?
Anyone who is experiencing grief from the loss of a spouse, close family member or friend whether recently or years ago.
How will the meetings be run?
We will meet monthly and use a book to help us with our discussion (books will be provided by Saint Simon Parish).
