The Emmaus Grief Retreat offers a time for parents grieving the loss of their children to come together in fellowship with others who have walked a similar path. The day will consist of prayer services, witness by a parent who has experienced the death of a child, small group sharing, lunch and dinner in community with other parents on the retreat, the Vigil Mass at the parish, and a candle lighting ceremony with candles with a photo of each child being remembered.
