Deadline to Register: April 12th
Living through grief is not easy but it does not have to be done alone. Blessed Sacrament Parish will offer a 9 week support program called, “New Day”, for those who have suffered the loss of a loved one. The goal of this program is to provide a sense of community where support is given and received.
This program is led by trained facilitators and includes prayer, discussion, and journaling. Although this program is a faith-based, it is not restricted to Catholics and all are welcome. In order to accommodate individual needs, the group size is limited to a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 9 persons. It is recommended it has been at least 6 months since the loss.
For further information or to register, please email bereavement@cath-comm.org or call Carol at (860) 268-0966 or Sue at (860) 371-1111
