God’s merciful redeeming love--eternally present—enlightens, strengthens, and frees us all.

We will create or enhance opportunities through which parishioners take responsibility for preparing and accompany-ing people on their sacramental journeys and beyond.
We who have experienced the loving embrace of God will make ourselves vulnerable in invitation and service to those who have not yet been able to experience that love.

Holy Redeemer/St. James the Less @hrsjparish
Blessed are those that mourn: they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4
Grief is a natural reaction to loss of a loved one. If you are feeling overwhelmed by sadness and find no one has time to listen, a support group is a safe place to share your pain. A nine week bereavement support group will be forming the beginning of November for those who have had a loved one die. Why not join a small group that will focus on the stages of grief and which will provide suggestions to work through the grief process? As we are approaching the holiday sea-son, the content of the group will address the issues that many of you might be facing, Getting through the Holidays. Please call the Parish Office for details.
