For parishes looking to offer grief support, we are happy to support you in getting started. There are a variety of grief programs that are offered throughout the Diocese, but many parishes use the Diocesan resource, “Grief Matters” by Dr. Bill Webster. DVD’s, videos and participant guides for this program are available through our office.
