Loss & Bereavement Ministries at St. Gabriel

Ways we can help....

• Funeral Planning - Our trained Bereavement Ministers will lead family members through the planning of memorial Masses and services.  Please contact the parish office at (440) 352-8282.
• ​​Bereavement Support Group  -  Our Growing through Grief Support Group provides a spiritual and safe environment where adults who are grieving the death of a loved one can gather.  By telling their story and listening to others, participants gain a clearer understanding of their grief and are affirmed in their experiences.  Group facilitators are present to companion the  bereaved as they integrate loss into their lives.  The next Support Group 7 week  Session begins Tuesday, April 4, 2023 at 7 pm and continues each Tuesday after through May 16, 2023.  Please complete the form below if interested in attending.
• Hope for the Holidays -  for 2023 - date to be determined. As we approach the holidays, the loss of a loved one's presence can be felt much more deeply.  Through prayer and support,  we invite you to a beautiful time of reflection that helps sort feelings and gain strength as we approach the upcoming celebrations.

​Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.
