Bereavement Gathering
A Gathering for Saint James & Saint Katharine Drexel Parishes will be held on Tuesday, May 23, 2023 from 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM in Drexel Hall/Wiggins Room. The intent of the Gatherings is to reach out with love and spiritual support to all those grieving the death of a loved one. If you have suffered the loss of a spouse, a parent, a child, or even a dear friend, the feelings of grief can seem like an endless black hole.
Grief is a messy and complicated emotion that does not fit with anyone's cultural perceptions or timetable. While friends and family may be able to provide emotional support for a short time, they may hit their limit when they find that your grief extends far beyond the time, energy, and patience that they have to give.
Truthfully, feelings of loss can last a lifetime, as you adjust not only to the absence of someone you love but to an entirely new way of life as you plan a new course which does not include him or her. The night will consist of prayer and fellowship, sharing experiences as well as food and drinks. Note that anyone is welcome to attend!
