The death of a child is the loss of dreams, hopes, and the future for parents. This grief is unlike any other as a mother and father are a parent for life, regardless of the death of a child. This retreat is offered to parents of children who have died no matter what the age, cause of death, or amount of time since the child's death. Below is a list of upcoming retreats. There is no cost for this retreat, but a free-will offering will be taken up to help cover catering and materials costs.

Imagine having a roadmap that calls individuals in your parish to deeper faith and conversion; that moves them from being bystanders of the faith into a deep personal relationship with Jesus Christ. That relationship can be the beginning of an ongoing journey that leads to them to embrace active participation in the world as disciples of Christ. Don Buchalski, Coordinator of Evangelization, will hold a workshop that will give participants a framework for successfully building a group of missionary disciples who can confidently help people through the journey of conversion to become disciples of Jesus Christ. Join us for the workshop at 9:00 AM on Friday, March 15 at the Center for Ministry, 5802 Weiss St, Saginaw. To register and learn more, go to saginaw.org/calendar/day/20240315 or call 989.797.6654.
