Starting May 19 there will be a new grief support group at OLPH every Thursday for eight weeks from 7-8:30 p.m. at Our Lady of Perpetual Help (5830 Williams Dr.) in Corpus Christi with Chaplain Ray Clavería, who will be the Grief Support Coordinator.

The goals of this support group are to provide educational information about grief and loss, to assist group members in developing coping and adapting skills, and to offer emotional support. The support group sessions will be offered at no charge.

Topics to be covered in the weekly sessions include: Understanding the grief experience, handling the difficult emotions of grief, managing the stress of change, preparing for holidays and special occasions, and finding meaning after loss.

Space is limited and prior registration is required.  For more information about joining a grief support group, please contact Chaplain Ray Clavería at (361) 947-8146.
