Bereavement

Grief is a life changing experience. There is no one right way to grieve. As Christians, we celebrate and give thanks for the promise of eternal life, and we acknowledge grief is a Christian response in the face of loss. At St. Pius X, we seek to be a spiritual home and provide a place of support, prayer, resources and encouragement in the midst of loss and sadness. We offer a variety of ministries to journey alongside our bereaved parishioners at the time of death and in the months and years to follow.
