“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” — Matthew 5:4
Losing a loved one can be one of the most challenging experiences in life. In these moments of grief, the Church offers a place of solace, hope, and healing. Our Archdiocese is committed to walking with you through your journey of loss, providing spiritual guidance, pastoral care, and supportive resources for all who mourn.
Bereavement Groups
Red Bird Ministries serves ordinary families who have been given an extraordinary cross to carry.
Red Bird Ministries is an organization that systematically guides individuals and couples through the complexity and trauma that happens with the loss of a child through miscarriage and stillbirth or as an infant, child, adolescent, or adult. We also serve families who have experienced the loss of a loved one to suicide.
