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
