		Catholic Charities

	True Freedom is found in our Lord Jesus Christ who liberated us from sin through His death and resurrection. As we rejoice with our fellowAmericans for the independence we enjoy in the United States, let us never forget those who are restricted by the chains of poverty. Why not celebrate your freedom by an act of kindness? One way to do this is by donating your unwanted clothing and shoes to the Catholic Charities donation bin located on our property. Thank you.

Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted ... Mt 5-4
Wherever you are on your journey of grief, you don’t have to travel alone. We invite to take part in our eight-week grief support program called “Healing the Heart”

Grief is unique to each person, and journeying through it can be painful, lonely, and confusing, but it can be comforting to share this journey with others. Our group will meet bi-weekly for eight sessions at 7:30 pm beginning early January 22.The sessions include learning about grief and understanding the grieving process, the changes, challenges and choices that occur, coping with holidays and anniversaries, and dealing with feelings of loneliness and being disconnected spiritually.
