Our Monday evening Grief and Loss Support Group has been very successful. As it is best to keep the group small, we may be offering a second daytime group meeting. Please contact the parish office 916-452-4136 ext 2 for more information. All are welcome, wherever you may be on your faith journey. Connect with others coping with loss in a supportive and safe environment. Weekly meetings are guided by a trained facilitator. 

Our Parish Funeral Reception Ministry has been dormant for some time. Thanks to volunteer coordinators, Cleo Ner and Eleanor Diaz, we are once again able to offer caring hospitality to grieving families and their friends by offering food and fellowship following Funeral Liturgies. However, they cannot do it alone! We are hoping to have enough volunteers to create a rotating schedule. Volunteers are needed to help with set up, clean up and serving a light luncheon reception in the Parish Hall. The need for help is immediate as the next scheduled funeral reception is Friday, June 14, at 11am. To volunteer speak with one of the coordinators or call the Parish office at 916-452-4136 ext. 2. Thank you!
