SEASONS OF HOPE BEREAVEMENT MINISTRY

Location
St. Mary's Parish, Vancouver
5251 Joyce St
Vancouver, BC V5R 4G8

Seasons of Hope is a faith-based, Scripture-based support group program that runs for six consecutive weeks. It is centered on Jesus Christ and grounded in the healing wisdom, traditions, and practices of the Catholic Church. 

 Our Lord assured us that those who mourn are blessed and that they shall be comforted. Seasons of Hope offers the bereaved an opportunity to come together to share in God's love. With the support of a faith community, we can give voice to our unique journeys of grief and find healing and spiritual growth. Seasons of Hope sessions help us explore mourning through scripture, prayer, reflection activities, and faith sharing.

 A Christ-centred support group is for you if any of these are true:

  • You are looking for friends in Christ to share your journey of sorrow.
  • You have been trying to figure out the meaning of your grief.
  • You want to get on with life but have not been able to.
  • You find comfort in the teaching of Christ.
  • You are open to new ways of coping with your grief.
  • You do not want to feel alone anymore.

Anyone who lost a loved one and those who know someone who is struggling with grief is welcome to attend.
