Seton-Grief Ministry

St. Rita Seton-Grief Ministry is composed of compassionate and caring parishioners who have been diocesan trained to facilitate group discussion in a safe and spiritual environment. The volunteers have a genuine desire to journey with the bereaved through their grief process, as they too, are individuals that have previously suffered loss and have been healed. You will help others gain a better understanding of the grief process, as well as help them look forward to rebuilding their lives.  

For 2022-2023, we have planned not only luncheons but also some evening events beginning in January 2023.  Please see the document below for a complete list of dates and times.

Provide support to parishioners and their families through various means within our outreach programs.

• Contact with family member(s) via phone call(s), card(s) and letter(s).
• A structured 10-week grief support-group session is offered by Diocesan trained facilitators.
• Monthly luncheons provide an opportunity for a gathering of the bereaved for fellowship, spiritual, emotional, and practical support.
• Host an All Souls Day Requiem Mass reception to remember parishioners who have died in the past year.
• In concert with St Rita’s Care Ministries Council, provides support to special events and activities as needed.
