Grief Group

The death of a loved one can be a confusing and isolating time, especially for college students.

Campus Ministry offers grief support in a number of ways:

  • We collaborate with the University Counseling Center to offer gatherings for students who are experiencing grief and loss. The Grief Group allows students to gather with peers to talk about the many aspects of grief and loss. Additionally, it offers grieving students the chance to learn about the grief process and utilize prayer as a source of support through the difficult journey of grief. The meetings are held in The DeNaples Center, room 404. The schedule is listed below. Please sign up through RoyalSync,

  • Each November, we sponsor a Mass of Remembrance to remember those who have died during the past year. Students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members are invited to come and pray for those who have died and offer their support to grieving families.
  • Campus Ministers are available any time to talk with and companion students on their grief journey. Knowing that you are not alone and talking through what you are experiencing can be a great help in coping the loss.
