A Support Group for the Bereaved
When a loved one dies, it can feel like you are alone. Few people understand the thoughts, feelings and the pain you are experiencing. This can lead to isolation, feelings of depression and extreme sadness
and sorrow. All of these are normal. Yet, there is support through GriefShare.
GriefShare is a 13 session support group for those who have experienced the loss of a
loved one. A GriefShare session includes an informative video, discussion and sharing. It
is said that “grief shared is grief diminished.” Our next GriefShare support group will begin
on February 20, from 1:00 to 2:30 PM. We will meet in the St. Clement Parish office
meeting room. Pre-registration is encouraged by going to: griefshare.org.
There you can also find other GriefShare groups in the area (Platteville has one) if our
time/dates do not work for you. Contact Bill Manthe (723-4990) or Marcia Hampton (732-
8849) for more information or if you have questions.
Our host week for Family Promise begins Sunday, March 23, and concludes on Sunday morning, March 30. As we begin this Lenten season, volunteering to support families with children experiencing
homelessness is an excellent way to assist the needy. While you may be doing other things to help the poor during Lent, this is one very tangible way to assist those who live in Grant County. This program of outreach is unique in that its mission is to assist kids and their families who find themselves without shelter. Volunteer sign-up sheets are in the back of the church. Except for the overnight shift, all of the other volunteer shifts are just two hours. We also welcome anyone from our pastorate to volunteer in this important service. For more information, contact Bill Manthe at 723-4990 or Peg Jonas at 723-2051.
