With the support of the faith community, we can give voice to our unique journeys of grief and find healing and spiritual growth. The Seasons of Hope bereavement group process is centered on our God and grounded in the healing wisdom, traditions and practices of our Church. Perhaps this grief and faith sharing group is for you. It meets for 6 Tuesdays beginning May 18th and ending June 22nd. We will be meeting via zoom, so participants will need access to a computer through which they can access a zoom group invitation. Prayer, scripture, faith sharing, and fellowship begin at 9am. If you are interested in participating or would like to find out more, please contact: Lorraine Kim, MSW, Catholic Charities Good Samaritan program, 708-762-8040 (call or text) lorraine.kim@ccdop.org.
