Do you feel a special call to minister to those who have experienced loss? The Diocese has developed a 7-week Grief Recovery Series that is meant to be facilitated at parishes. To become a facilitator of this series, you simply need to be a caring, faithful person who wants to help others. Having experienced loss yourself can add an even stronger connection with the ministry. This training supports both new facilitators and seasoned facilitators who want to refresh their knowledge of this ministry.

Would you like to enhance your parish marriage preparation ministry? An assessment tool like Prepare & Enrich is an important part of the marriage preparation process.

The cost is $125 per person or married couple, and includes lunch, training manual and all materials.

Are you a parent who has lost a child and would appreciate support? Whether it happens through miscarriage, stillbirth, or later in life, the death of a child is a deep and tragic loss for parents – and for their hopes and dreams for the future. No matter what the age, cause of death, or how much time has passed, the grief over the loss of a child weighs heavily on the hearts of parents. On Saturday, October 3, 2026, a one-day Emmaus Retreat for Grieving Parents will be offered at St. Agnes Parish in Freeland.

Nouvel: A Night to Shine is a special evening celebrating Nouvel Catholic Central, it's growth and long-term plans. The first three years created an endowment to support faculty compensation, with the aim of providing long-term, stable income through investment returns on the endowed funds. Through creating an endowment, Nouvel strengthens its commitment to attracting and retaining first-in-class educators to form children in Christ for generations to come. This year will continue that momentum and celebrate continued growth on our campuses.
