While grief is a very private experience, those who have lost loved ones can benefit from the witness and support of others who have lost someone special in their lives.

The St. Francis Bereavement Ministry offers an opportunity for the bereaved to connect with others who grieve, and to seek a path of healing as they come to terms with their loss.

A Bereavement Support Group will meet on eight Tuesdays from:

February 12 to April 2,
from 6:00 to 7:30 PM.

Please call Fr. Brian Smail, O.F.M. at 212-736-8500, Ext. 204 to inquire. Interested persons should be at least six months into the grieving process.

Pre-registration is required.
