Arms and Bereavement

Contact: 

Deacon Tim Noca – [email protected]

When: Wednesdays at 7 pm (First Session April thru June 3rd) 

Where: Saint Ferdinand Upper Room 

A valuable lesson learned over the past few generations is that people with similar pain can be very good for each other. Anyone that has ever lost a child knows how helpful others can be who have time spent in a club that no one wants to join. Those that have lost a family member or friend because of an addiction have a uniqueness to their grief as well and thus far, not many groups have been created for this specific pain. 

Addiction Recovery Ministry is running a grief group for family members or friends who have lost a loved one because of overdose or addiction. Our discussion will be framed by the video Among the Many. We will strive to offer hope to anyone grieving such a tragic loss. 

If you have experienced this tragedy, please feel welcome. If you know of someone that has experienced this tragedy, please invite them. If you would like more information, please contact Deacon Tim Noca at 412-607-8328 or by email at [email protected].

Saint Gregory – Welcome to join either or both of the above

“Come and be Comforted.” We recognize Christ’s call to console the bereaved. Through this ministry, adults of all ages find Christ on their journey of sorrow. Here we support each other and build up our Faith community. Two different programs run at two of our church sites as noted above. All seeking healing in Christ through a community of believers are welcome.
