Offer... Seasons of Hope
Seasons of Hope is a unique, Christ-centered Catholic Support Group for the bereaved who have lost a spouse, family member or close friend. Seasons of Hope Bereavement Program is divided into four seasonal independent 6 – week sessions. Participants are welcome to register for 1 to 4 Seasons. Each Season is led by trained bereavement facilitators to guide you through the grieving process, help you process your emotions, and learn how to cope with them.
This program is rooted in Catholic tradition, conveying God’s consolation through scripture, prayer, reflection and sharing our faith. Whether your loss is recent or long ago, if you are searching for our Lord in the midst of your grief, Seasons of Hope can help. It is a nurturing link to the Church, the Almighty, and people of faith who truly understand what it means to be brokenhearted.
​
Seasons of Hope offers two site locations. You may register at the St. Joseph Parish site, located at 79 Case Ave., Sharon, PA or you may register at the Notre Dame site, located at 2325 Highland Rd., Hermitage, PA. Due to the nature of this program, it is advised to remain at your selected location for the duration of the 6-week season.
