To help assist those in such situations, St. Albert’s has formed a Widowers Support Group whose mission is to assist men through such a grieving period. The group meets weekly on Saturday mornings for breakfast, with a goal of making new friendships with others who have endured such grief, and who are willing to share their experiences with you to show “you are not alone!”. If you are interested in being a part of this newly-formed group, please contact Ron Sobecks Sr. at 440- 558-6598. -
Seasons of Healing
Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Our Lord assured us that those who mourn are blessed, and that they shall be comforted. Seasons of Healing offers the bereaved an opportunity to come together and share in God’s comfort and love. With the support of the faith community, we can give voice to our unique journeys of grief, find healing and spiritual growth.
The Seasons of Healing group session meets twice yearly (Spring & Fall) for 6 consecutive weeks in the evening. The group explores bereavement through scripture, prayer, reflections, and faith sharing. Seasons of Healing is centered on Jesus Christ and grounded in the healing wisdom, traditions, and practices of the Catholic Church through Mary our Mother of Consolation.
St Albert the Great also offers a Personal Outreach on Grief and Healing which is an individual one on one meeting to begin the healing journey and can be scheduled at most any time.
Please contact the church office (440-237-6760) for more information or to confirm participation in this session or to schedule an individual Personal Outreach on Grief and Healing bereavement session.
