GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP
For those who have suffered the loss of a loved one, whether it be a spouse, older child or friend. Meetings are held on a monthly basis, second Thursday of every month at 6 p.m. in room 11 of the parish office. (Enter door #9)
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.
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 if you or anyone you know has experienced the loss of a child so we can reach out with prayer and offer support. We can also deliver a care package to a family going through a loss.
We recently finished constructing a Memorial Garden in the St. John Cemetery. Click here for our informational brochure. Click here to purchase a paver stone for the Memorial Garden in memory of your baby.
The pavers will be placed within the Memorial Garden and will be honored with an Annual Dedication Ceremony. For those who order pavers, details on the next ceremony will be sent to you directly. Details will also be posted on our Facebook Page or below on this webpage.
