Widow/Widower Support Group

Our parishioners who have suffered the loss of a spouse deserve our special care and concern.  Psalm 68:5 praises God as the “protector of widows” (NSRV).  Even so, the loss of a spouse plunges people into the very heart of the mystery of suffering that is one of the main challenges of life.

For information on how to join this group, please contact the parish office at 952-473-6601
