A Spiritual Retreat for Parents Who Have Experienced the Death of a Child of Any Age, by Any Cause, No Matter How Long Ago
Offered by the Family Life Office of the Archdiocese of New York.
Of all the pains that life can hand us, arguably one of the most searing is the death of a child. A parent’s world irrevocably changes forever. Focusing on the spirituality of the grieving process can help tremendously. As Jesus joined his distraught disciples on the road to Emmaus after his crucifixion, we ask him to join each of us in this ministry as we continue on our difficult journeys from grief to the healing peace that we, like Jesus’ disciples, can find in the Eucharistic community.
To meet the needs of Catholic parents whose children have died, the Family Life Office and the Church of the Magdalene now offer the Emmaus Ministry for Grieving Parents. A unique, faith-based program providing spiritual retreats for grieving parents offered by grieving parents, the Emmaus Ministry offers a safe place where you can find peace, comfort, and hope–at least for a time.
Join us in a warm and loving environment with others who know somewhat of your pain.
