GriefShare
Losing a loved one is very often a devastating and life changing event. If you have experienced the death of a loved one, Saint Mark Parish invites you to be part of a thirteen week program that offers support, conversation, and comfort. This program is offered several times each year. You do not need to be present at every session but may attend as your schedule permits. Our first session, Is This Normal? introduces the GriefShare program and explores why the grief experience may be harder than expected. Sessions include a short video and an opportunity for discussion. Contact Deacon Ralph Bachner at 724-625-1665 x2103 or [email protected] to register or for more information.
Our next sessions are from September 2 through November 11, 2025 from 6:30 pm to 8 pm. Meetings are held in Meeting Room D of the lower level of Saint Kilian Church.
