Seton-Grief Ministry

Formerly Bereavement 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.

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 8-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 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.
