NEW DAY PROGRAM FOR BEREAVED
St Thomas Church will conduct a bereavement seminar beginning March 30, 2016. Anyone grieving the death of a loved one is encouraged to enroll and participate at no cost. The New Day process, developed by Sr. Mauryeen O’Brien, OP, will be used and participants will meet each Wednesday evening from 7 – 9 pm for 10 consecutive weeks. This process has been very successful in helping the bereaved transition to life without their loved one. During each meeting, participants work through one component of the grieving process using prayer, reflection, sharing and journaling. Everything that is shared during the meetings is held confidential. For more information or to enroll please call Vinny Raby at 860-628-9425 or Dorothy Charette at 860-628-4010. You may also call the Parish office 860-628-4713.

We urge families to remove them prior to this time, as they can be used for several seasons. Artificial Flowers are not allowed after April 15th. Palm has been blessed and therefore, should not be used as a cemetery decoration.
