St. David the King invites you to a four-week overview of “Loss and Grief” and how it changes lives. Each session addresses how to slowly integrate the loss you have experienced, and the grief that comes with it, into your life. No pre-work or reading is required. The sessions are very conversational.
Evening sessions will be held on Tuesday, July 9, 16, 23 and 30 at 6:30 to 7:45 pm at St. David the King.
We ask that participants commit to attending all four sessions.
Registration is limited to eight participants. You can register online AT THIS LINK (It will take you to Google Forms.)
For more information, please email Al Martella at affal@stdavidtheking.com OR leave a message at 609.785.1118 (Google Voice).
A past participant wrote: “I had no idea what to expect from this group, but even after the first night I knew I was on the right path…with the right people. I am already comforted and know I am among friends. God is certainly in that room with us all.”

For all who have lost a loved one, we pray:
Jesus, you said, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” Lord, for those who are mourning, please send them your comfort now. Wrap your arms around them and hold them tight. Send angels of mercy to them.. Shower them comfort. Lift them up and give them hope once more. Help them to believe that tomorrow will be better and the next day will be easier. Amen.
