Grieving with Great Hope is a grief support program and a healing ministry developed by John and Sandy O'Shaughnessy; they are the co-founders of Good Mourning Ministry, a Catholic Bereavement Apostolate. John is a Certified Grief Counselor and author of five books. Sandy is a Director of Religious Education with a master's degree in Pastoral Ministry (Bereavement Emphasis). They are grief educators, but in this series, you will learn they have experienced profound grief themselves. As a FORMED subscriber, you can access all 5-sessions of this series. This series also comes with a Participant's Workbook and a Leader-Guide which walks you through the program from early planning, to preparation and

implementation. This series is prayerful, practical, and personal. It has helped thousands of people who are grieving the loss of a loved one. The title comes from 1 Thessalonians 4:13, in which St. Paul tells the Thessalonians, "Let us not grieve as others who have no hope." And though faith can give us a confident expectation that this is not our home, it does not prevent grief and suffering in this life. Jesus said many times, "Take up your cross and follow me." This series teaches that grief is a natural reaction to loss, and mourning is our intentional response. Mourning is what we do with the pain we feel. It introduces The Seven Intentions of Mourning, each having its own unique purpose in helping to heal our wounds when someone we love dies. This series is designed for group discussions; as such, during the first four sessions, there is time for six "Grief Peer Group" discussions, where participants can share their own stories in a safe

and validating environment.

School CCD CLASSES

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and

keeping the safety of our children and

catechists in mind it has been

determined that we will be going

VIRTUAL for AT LEAST half of

the CCD calendar year.

To accommodate this transition, we

will be offering LIVE classes via

ZOOM on DIFFERENT days of the

week. The need for a WORKING

EMAIL address to be submitted to

the church at registration IS

VITAL! Here is the schedule:

Monday – 6th grade – 7:00p.m.

Tuesday – 7th grade – 7:00p.m.

Thursday – 8th grade – 7:00p.m.

Sunday – C1 – 10:15a.m.

Sunday – C2 – 12:45p.m.

All classes will be ONE HOUR.

Attendance is vital as each class will

have assigned work to be submitted

and attendance will be kept.

A Brief Note from the Office of Youth Ministry

Status of the NEXT half of the year

We would have liked, at this time, to be able to inform everyone that we would be resuming class in person by this time; HOWEVER, we have decided, for the continued

continuity of our program, to conclude the remainder of this year via livestream.

We want to thank those who are ACTIVELY coming to class via livestream. So far, the communication has been good and the students, overall, are attentive. We do need to IMPROVE the attendance of the Confirmation level students as there are still those

failing to consistently sign in, which will result in a failure to receive the sacrament on time. Continue to be diligent! Thank you all!

Thank you!
