Mass of Remembrance | Saturday, March 12 @11am

Dear Parents of Brothers and Sisters in the Risen Christ,

On behalf of St. Francis de Sales Bereavement Ministry and

Forever in Our Hearts Grief Support Group, I invite parents and

family members to share in a liturgy to honor children now

entrusted to God’s loving care. To reach out to parents who

have lost a child and to help parents take another step on

the long road to healing, a Mass of Remembrance to honor

children who are deceased will be celebrated on Saturday,

March 12th at 11 am. Whether death came recently or long

ago, and whether they departed this life before birth, or as

infants, young children or teens, or in adulthood, the lives

of our beloved children were far too short. Please join us to

pray with other parents who have also lost children and share

our hope in the Resurrection. All bereaved parents and

family or close friends are welcome. Please join members

of our Forever in Our Hearts Grief Support Group and

Bereavement Ministers in the Gathering Space following

Mass for refreshments and fellowship.

God give you peace,

Father David F. Ryan, Pastor
