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 will be offering a 6-week series on Bereavement for those who have suffered through loss or grief in these days. 
The Bereavement Support Group will meet on six Wednesdsays from:

Wednesday, October 12 to November 23 (no session on Nov. 2)
6:30 to 8:00 pm
in second floor conference room in the Francis house

Fr. Michael Carnevale and Fr. Steve Patti will co-facilitate the group. Space is limited, if you are interested 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.
