The Compassionate Care Ministry is our effort to meet the needs of those who are walking through grief and mourning following the death of a loved one. It’s a highly personal and emotional time and we have ways to comfort, console, and support each other. If you've recently lost a loved one, we invite you to use one of the resources below or attend one of our events.

Supportive Mailings 

Compassionate Care offers a series of supportive mailings touching on common concerns as you move through the first year of transition following the death of a loved one. If you've lost a loved one in the past year, we'd like you to receive this ongoing resource.

Informal Gatherings / Sharing Grace

Grief isn't a smooth or linear process. Sometimes we experience difficult spots. Perhaps there’s an event or milestone that triggers a need to talk with others who understand. Sharing Grace is an opportunity to gather with others who are facing similar situations. Join us at a local restaurant or here on campus. These gatherings are not structured with a formal agenda, rather it’s an opportunity to be embraced by people who ‘get it’, to respond to the needs of the group that day. Come once or a few times, this is an ‘as needed’ opportunity.

Sharing Grace meets the second Saturday of each month (with the exception of holiday weekends) at noon at Jason's Deli on Spring Forest Rd. We sit at the tables just inside the door. No need to RSVP or register,  just come along to chat with folks who understand grief and loss. 

Grieving a Pregnancy or Infant Loss: Lily of the Valley

If you are struggling with infertility, prenatal diagnosis, miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss, you may feel a deep loss which few others seem to understand. Lily of the Valley is a Catholic ministry of Catholic women who serve those experiencing infertility, difficult pregnancy diagnosis, and those who have experienced a pregnancy or perinatal loss. Through the intercession of St. Gianna Molla, our hope is to provide prayer and support to those who carry this cross and to bring comfort to those who are weary, that they will find peace and joy amidst a time of sorrow and suffering.
