Bereavement

Debbie George (512) 600-8158 – bereavement@saintwilliams.org, More Information

At the time of a loved one's death, we rely on our faith, family, and friends to help us through the grieving process. There are several types of bereavement groups that can help at the time of loss. Seven Choices meets monthly on the third Saturday of the month and offers an introduction to the process of grief, prayer support and a chance to talk about how things are progressing (or not) with you and your family. New Day Catholic Bereavement Support Group meets weekly for nine weeks and, through journaling and Scripture, delves much more deeply into the issues that surface when a loved one dies. No One Cries the Wrong Way is a video-based series aimed at helping children cope with death. Our parish also offers support and resources for women and families who have suffered miscarriage or infant loss.
