St. Anthony of Padua Parish is pleased to begin a new program within the bereavement ministry titled Seasons of Hope.
Seasons of Hope is a unique grief support program for Catholics that focuses on the spiritual side of grieving the death of a loved one. It invites those who mourn to accompany one another and to meet Christ through scripture, prayer, reflection, and simple activities that offer comfort and help to foster healing and spiritual growth.
Whether your loss is recent or long ago, if you are searching for the Lord’s presence in the midst of your grief, Season of Hope can offer gentle support. It provides a compassionate connection to the Church and to people of faith who truly understand what it means to be brokenhearted.
Schedule
Participants will meet for six Thursdays, beginning February 19, 2026, and running through March 26, 2026. You may select to meet on Thursday mornings from 10-11:30 a.m. or evenings at 5:30-7:00 p.m. in the online registration form.
Seasons of Hope is designed as a progressive, small-group experience, with each session building upon the one before it. For this reason, regular attendance is essential. Participants are asked to make a commitment to attend all sessions so they (and the group) can fully benefit from the journey together.
