BEREAVEMENT GROUP

If you have lost a spouse, family member or someone close to you the Bereavement Group at St. Francis is ready to welcome you. It is a place of quiet confidential discussion among others who have suffered loss. Come tell us about the life of the person you lost, share your loss or just sit and listen. There are no requirements or dues. Everyone is welcome. It is a special non-judgmental place where people listen and care. The Bereavement Group meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month at 7:00 PM in the Tovet Room at the church.
