Grief Support
Unfortunately we will all go through
loss at some point in our lives, what’s fortunate is that we don't have to
suffer through these losses alone.
Locally we are blessed to have many Diocesan and Non-Diocesan support groups to fit
almost any need. Here a just a few of
those that are available to you and your loved ones.
In
addition we, the Parish Nurses of St Benedict's, can always be reached
through the rectory (716.834.1041) for more information or any assistance we can provide.
