Upcoming Events/Latest News
The Catholic Cemeteries Association continues with our monthly Sunday Grief Support meetings on September 19th in two formats: In-person at six of our cemetery offices and virtually via Zoom. An RSVP is appreciated but not required for the in-office meetings. Safe meeting guidelines are followed as advised by the Diocese and local health authorities. We continue our special appeal to east side and Avon area parishes to let your grieving families know about our free and safe in-office monthly grief support meetings. Please advise leaders in your parish who are in contact with the bereaved, to reach out and suggest one of our grief support groups. Even if you have grief support at your parish, this is a free source of additional support for them. With the challenges and stresses in our current pandemic environment, many people are in need of one or more support systems. They will be blessed by taking advantage of all the support resources available to them. To request a supply of our Grief Support flyers for the grieving in your parish or for more information, please contact me at rabrams@clecem.org or 216-930-4866. Our 2021 Grief Support Group info as well as our Walk to Remember info (registration started August 1st) is included below for posting on bulletin boards, inserting in your bulletins, or posting on your parish website.
