Moving Forward

Those who are grieving the loss of someone, whether recent or not, are invited to meet others who are walking the same path of grief for prayer, support, and discussion.  We learn to move forward, one step at a time.  We meet on the last Monday of each month at both 10:00 am and 6:30 pm in the Polly Pollard Room (lower level).

Evening Prayer of Remembrance Service

An annual service is held in early November (around the Feast of All Soul's Day) for those who wish to remember their deceased family and friends.  During the prayer service, family members are invited to light a candle in remembrance of their loved one.  In a special way, we honor those from our parish who have died in the past year.
