Be In The Presence of Those Who Understand

The Catholic Cemeteries Association is committed to ministering and assisting families before, during and after the death of a loved one.

Bereavement Support Groups

fleur de lis icon

We offer a comfortable, private, and encouraging environment where you are free to explore your grief and all you are feeling. Meetings are open discussion, surrounding a monthly topic or whatever is on your heart. Come and be in the presence of those who understand. Our monthly support group meets every 3rd Sunday of each month - 4th Sunday if the 3rd Sunday is a holiday - from 3 pm to 4 pm.

Your RSVP is greatly appreciated but not required. For more information or if you have questions, please contact Suzanne at srichter@clecem.org or 216-930-4866.
