Catholic Grief Support Groups
Grief support groups are free and available to anyone in the community who has experienced a loss. Generally, they meet once or twice a month year round. These groups are beneficial because they provide a place to begin sharing your grief with others who have suffered a loss. They also promote building long-term supportive relationships.
The following is a list of on-going grief support groups located throughout the area. Contact locations directly for more information.
