Are you walking through a journey of grief after a loved one passed away? It can be a difficult time, often surprising us in ways we didn't expect. Bereavement can be lonely, overwhelming, confusing and exhausting. And that's not even touching on the stress of all the decisions you're pushed to make! Saint Raphael offers ways to help you cope with this tender time.
This Sunday we celebrate Pentecost, the Christian solemnity 50 days after Easter that marks the beginning of the Church, Temple of the Holy Spirit that it is.
