Grief Bereavement & Consolation

Our faith calls us to be Christ to one another. Because of this call, the Saint Rose Grief Ministry Team dedicates itself to reaching out with caring support to provide spiritual, emotional, and social comfort to those who are grieving the death of a loved one.

How do I navigate the Catholic Church’s teachings on death?
