OLG’s SPRING Bereavement Group Meet for Seven Consecutive WEDNESDAYS from MARCH 4th to APRIL 15th 2020 at 7:30 p.m. at OLG’s Community Room (Rectory Basement).
The goal of the Bereavement Group is to take you on a creative journey of self-discovery through personal stories, prayerful meditations, songs and crafts. An inner reflection will awaken you to recognize that Jesus is in your midst, especially during times of sorrow, as the disciples eventually became aware that it was Jesus walking with them on the road to Emmaus.
Please call the rectory for details at (718) 843-6218.
