gAll Saints Grief Support Fellowship
This parish ministry is for any and all who are grieving the loss of a loved one, no matter how recent or how long ago. Please consider this invitation for yourself or extend this invitation to another who is suffering loss. All are welcome. 

Parish grief support gatherings take place on the second Saturday of the month, 8:30-9:30am (following the 8am Saturday morning Mass). Meetings are held in the staff lounge.
 
Also, All Saints Pastoral Care Office maintains a listing of local counseling clinics/ therapists that have been found to be good resources by others who have sought their services in the areas of individual, marriage/couple, and family counseling.

Growing Through Loss

Growing Through Loss is sponsored by the Interdenominational Coalition of South Suburban Churches (15 “south of the river” churches, including All Saints). This five-week series takes place twice a year: once in the fall and once in the spring. It is for adults who have experienced a loss or crisis and / or who wish to learn more about the grief process.

Each session is complete in itself and offers a presentation followed by small group support facilitated by trained leaders. You are welcome to attend one or all. There is no charge to attend, but a $4.00 donation is suggested and appreciated.
 
Details can be found on the Growing Through Loss homepage.
