Every great grief conceals a great grace. Project Chrysalis is a new Catholic ministry designed to help parents who have lost a child find hope through Sacred Scripture and community, all while adhering
to the teaching of the Magisterium.  While this ministry is not a bereavement group, our mission is to offer support and hope through scripture in a time of transformation.
