Of all the pains that life can hand us, arguable the most searing is the death of a child. A parent’s world irrevocably and horrifically changes forever. As Jesus joined his distraught disciples on the road to Emmaus after his crucifixion, we ask him to join us as we struggle through this horrendous journey of grief daily.
To meet the spiritual needs of Catholic parents whose children of any age have died by any cause – no matter how long ago – the Diocese of Richmond now offers the Emmaus Ministry for Grieving Parents. A unique, faith-based program providing spiritual retreats for grieving parents offered by grieving parents, Emmaus Ministry offers a safe place where you can find peace, comfort, and hope.
Join us in a warm and loving environment with others who know something of your pain.
The Four Winds of Richmond Kateri Circle is an intertribal group whose purpose is to promote Native American Spirituality within the Catholic Church. Under the guidance of the Diocese of Richmond we are affiliated with the Tekakwitha Conference, an organization that advocates for peace and justice in Indigenous Communities. If you are Native American, come from a family of Native American Heritage, and/or are interested in working with this ministry you’re invited to join us as we gather to promote and support our Native American brothers and sisters. See links below for more information about what the United States Catholic Bishops have to say about ministry to our Native American brothers and sisters!
