Fellow Parishioners,
The St. Catharine-St. Margaret Bereavement Ministry will be meeting again this Thursday afternoon, January 26th at 2PM in St. Catharine’s Convent located at 211 Essex Avenue, Spring Lake NJ. Sister Margaret Tierney and Dr. Jack V. Kirnan will facilitate the sixth of our 6 session Bereavement Program entitled The Search for Reconciliation: Does the Journey End? that follows a well-developed and respected format from Renew International’s Grieving the Death of a Loved One. We will also where appropriate, incorporate materials from another outstanding resource called The New Day Journal: A Journey from Grief to Healing by Mauryeen O’Brien.
We provide all course materials for the Program, and it is our hope that if you are grieving the loss of a loved one that you prayerfully consider joining us as we help each other move through the grieving process.
