Support Groups

"Blessed are those who weep and mourn for they shall be comforted."  The bereavement ministry offers comfort and support for parishioners after the death of a loved one by journeying with them through the grief process in several ways.  Please contact Laura Scott for more information.

Holy Family Parish is a community who grows together and cares for one another. If you or a family member are ill, going for surgery, experiencing a loss of a loved one, unemployed, living with a chronic illness, in the dying process, battling an addiction, experiencing marriage difficulties, pregnant, caring for your aging parent, experiencing parenting hardships, struggling with depression or anxiety, dealing with a troubling time at work, and the list goes on, please don’t hesitate to contact your parish for additional support and care on your journey. We have many ways of helping make your burdens a little lighter. Maybe our meal ministry could help, a referral to a support group or spiritual director, someone to pray with you or visit you, or even our prayer lines could pray for you. Your situation might also be the reason the parish needs to begin a support group or provide resources for those in a similar situation as you are. Please contact Laura Scott to let your parish care for you.

“Never Alone” Special Needs Parent Support is a monthly support group for parents (or primary care givers) of children and adults with special needs. The mission is to provide a supportive environment where we can help each other to cope with life in a positive way, share experiences, discuss various topics and resources, pray together, and find support in the church for our special families.  Watch for more information in the bulletin for meetings. There will be sharing among parents, some months there may be a short speaker, and some months there may be a discussion topic.  For more information please contact Laura Scott.

Our widowed group meets at Holy Family or at a local restaurant to enjoy breakfast or a potluck together. It's a great way to connect and support eachother. They also help with our homebound gift assembly.  Gifts are given to our homebound around the holidays and our Widowed Group helps support this ministry.  Watch for upcoming events in the bulletin.  Any questions contact the Parish Office.
