Jennifer Spellicy, LMSW and Father Jay will be co-facilitating a support group for those who have lost loved ones. It will be a small, confidential support group that will meet weekly for approximately two months. The purpose of the group is to allow persons currently grieving the loss of loved ones the opportunity to share and normalize their feelings by looking at their bereavement together with others also going through the grieving process. The first meeting for this bereavement group will be on Monday, April 24, at 5:30 pm in St. James Parish Hall in the basement of the church. The group is open to all faith traditions or those with no faith tradition. There will be no cost involved other than a willingness to listen and to share with others who may also be struggling with the pain of loss.
