one. Our facilitators are trained by the Diocese of Orlando
to ensure that the spiritual, emotional and psychological
components of the grieving process are addressed. It enables
the bereaved to learn to cope with their loss and grief; it
provides a supportive outlet in which to express feelings
openly in a non-judgmental environment; and it provides the
opportunity to experience hope. For more information, please

where friendships can grow and be strengthened.
