Our Lady of Mount Virgin Bereavement Ministry Journey through Grief

If you have recently lost a loved one, please consider attending the meetings of our Journey through Grief support group, offered by the OLMV Bereavement Ministry. It’s mission is to provide ways to cope with the various feelings that are experienced following the loss of a loved one. It provides a peaceful and loving environment at which you can learn that you are not alone on your journey through grief.

The first meeting will be held on Thursday, September 9. The fall session—all Thursdays—will meet weekly from 1:30-3:00 PM at the Parish Center, across the street from our church, 450 Drake Ave.

The fall meeting dates will be held on:

• September 9, 16, 23, 30
• October 7, 21

One does not have to be a member of our parish, or our faith, to participate. But registration is required. Registration forms are available near the entrances of the church and in the parish office. Once completed, please return the form to the parish office.

Summer Mass and Giving

Summer is a great time to get away. Many of us are especially looking forward to getting away this year, having had our travel plans over the last year interrupted by the pandemic. Even when we are away, and maybe even especially when we are away, we need to keep God in our plans. When planning your vacation itinerary, please consult masstimes.org to find a Catholic Church near you. And while it is important to financially support the Catholic churches at our vacation destinations, it is also important to keep your home parish in mind.

The best way to support the parish is to enroll in our online giving program. Through this program you can determine your donation amount, select the funds or funds of your choice to which to donate, determine the method of payment, and set the frequency of payments (one-time or recurring). Many thanks for your prayerful support and generosity.
