Loss is very much a part of all of our lives, and sometimes our grief can be so devastating that we feel completely lost or alone.
The New Day Bereavement Program is a faith-based weekly program lasting nine weeks. Through group discussion, journaling and scriptural reflection the healing process begins to take hold, providing the participants an opportunity to understand grief in a way that helps to rebuild identity and to strengthen faith in oneself and in God.
Advanced registration is required. Please sign-up as soon as you can, as space is limited and sessions tend to fill up rather quickly.
There is no cost to participate. All fees are covered by the Bereavement Initiative of the Fairfield County Catholic Cemeteries of the Diocese of Bridgeport in an effort to support grieving families.
We all experience grief, and we all experience it differently. But there is no need to experience it alone.
