We have had many inquiries from members of both our parishes about whether a support group is available for those who have recently experienced the loss of a loved one. At present, such a valuable group or team doesn't exist here but we are hoping we can begin to better meet the needs of our bereaved parishioners.
If there are members of our parishes who have professional or other relevant experience handling such delicate matters (social work, pastoral care, or counseling) who would be interested in helping facilitate a support group for the bereaved - we would welcome your help! If you have this kind of experience and might be willing to be part of such a group or team, please contact Fr. Joe O'Keefe by email atfrjoe@matt13catholic.orgby phone at508-921-1028 x1021.
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of our neighbors in need of consolation and care.
