GRIEF SUPPORT October 14th, 2024 3:30-5:00 pm
One Step Forward and Two Steps Back The path of grief is a dynamic process and defies predictability. We think we are making “progress” and then we are triggered by a song, a memory, almost anything….and without warning we feel overwhelmed with grief. As difficult as this is, it is normal. Join other grieving hearts and share this all too familiar experience. You are not alone. Facilitated by Valerie Piazza LCPC 
The new phase of the National Eucharistic Revival movement is the Year of Mission. It's time for this revival movement to spread outward. The whole Church is walking on mission together. You are asked to prayerfully consider how you will respond to this call to mission in your own life and to lead by example. How is the Lord calling you to deepen your understanding of mission and explore how you share your time, your talent and your treasure?
