Our 10th Year of Providing
Comfort & Hope
After several years of offering the Faith & Grief Luncheon as a local ministry,
Faith & Grief Ministries became an official non-profit on July 11, 2021.
Over the last 10 years, we have had the privilege to provide thousands of people opportunities for comfort & hope as they walk along their grief journey.
Stay tuned for more 10th Anniversary events coming this Fall.
Upcoming Programs

Find Comfort & Hope
Come Retreat this Fall
Faith & Grief Weekend Retreats provide you the time and space to process your grief in the community with others on a similar journey.
https://www.faithandgrief.org/retreats/
This week, they are covering “A Process Approach to Caring,” which provides the key understanding that the most effective caregiving happens when we focus on the process of care – not the results we hope to see.
They do not have to fix the caregivers’ problems; instead, they can continue providing the best possible care while relying on God to bring about the results.
Episodes are also available on Spotify as well as on

Do you have a passion for eco-justice?
Sacred Air: Climate & Energy is a nine-session small group program that explores the impact of the climate crisis on God’s creation and God’s people.
As we learn and dialogue about tough topics such as restoring the health of our planet, prayer and spiritual practices guide participants in noticing the breath of God that flows through them, granting them the life and energy to address the climate crisis with passion and resilience.
Program dates: September 15th through November 10th.
Registration Coming Soon!

PreKinder and Kindergarten
At certain times in life we look to a caring Catholic Friend to listen to us while we work through our thoughts and feelings. Life has twists and turns. All of us find ourselves struggling at certain times in our lives.
From the experience of being hospitalized, to relocation, struggling with a family situation, homebound or being a caregiver to either an elder or a child with special needs, many life predicaments can trigger a need to talk with someone.
Everyone knows someone who can benefit from Stephen Ministry.
Perhaps it is a loved one, a friend or someone you know from Our Lady of Angels.
Perhaps it is YOU!
