This new ministry in the Emmaus Pastorate provides support to those experiencing the loss of a loved one.  The committee below is spearheading this new endeavor, which will use the Grief Share Journey program.  It offers 13 classes to interested participants which will be offered twice each year, typically March through May and September through November. 

Our first Grief Share Journey class will be on Thursday, April 22 from 6:30pm-8:00 p.m. at St. Mary Upper Room in Strawberry Point.  Classes will take place each Thursday from April 22 to July 15, and participants are welcome to join anytime after the first meeting.  We ask attendees to wear a mask and social distance.  Snacks will be provided.

Anyone interested in participating in or leading this new ministry is asked to call one of the three committee members for further information:

• Dianne Fette (563-880-9847)
• Kandi DeShaw (608-306-2558)
