EMBER OF HOPE MINISTRY

Our mission is to provide support and spark HOPE and healing in families as they navigate through their grief journey caused by the loss of a pregnancy or infant loss.



Meetings

We hold a monthly meeting open to grieving parents and family members seeking peer support. See our Facebook group, Ember of Hope, for meeting details or call the parish office at (920) 788-9061. Our Facebook group is also a place to connect with others who have suffered the loss of a child.


Contact Us

Contact us at emberofhope@stjn.org if you or anyone you know has experienced the loss of a child so we can reach out with prayer and offer support or with any questions. We can also deliver a care package to a family going through a loss.


Ember of Hope Infant Garden at St. John Cemetery
