Each person has a unique experience of grief that needs to be respected and supported. While grief is a very private experience, people who have lost loved ones often benefit from the witness and support of others who have lost someone special in their lives.
St. Francis offers 6-week bereavement series for those who have suffered through loss or grief. These series are offered a few times each year.
Fr. Michael Carnevale and Fr. Steve Patti co-facilitate the groups.
If you are interested in finding out more information please call Fr. Steve Patti, O.F.M. at 212-736-8500, Ext. 226 or or email him at spatti@stfrancisnyc.org to inquire.
Interested persons should be at least three months into the grieving process.
Pre-registration is required.
While this is a faith-based group, everyone is welcome regardless of their beliefs.
