Grief Support for Children and Adults

Our grief groups meet throughout the year and are designed to help children and adults experiencing different types of grief brought on by all varieties of trauma. Contact Jill for answers to your questions about our groups, or to volunteer with any of these programs.

At times we are able to offer a divorce support program wherein we cover the topics of grieving, fear, anger, dealing with your former spouse, helping your kids cope, the power of your faith to heal, and being single again.

This program is for Catholics who are going through a divorce or are struggling with life after divorce. Sessions are held Mondays from 7–8:30 p.m. in the St. Clare room. 


Please contact Jill at 651-437-4254 x225 for more information and future dates for this program.

Guiding Kids Through Life's Storms is the theme of this program. Even though death, divorce, deployment or other types of loss appear to be only grown-up problems, they have a profound effect on children and teens as well. If your child is struggling through a painful experience, this will be an opportunity for him or her to talk with a confidential small group of peers who will share together what is happening on the inside. We invite you to discuss this opportunity with your child/teen. 

This is a non-denominational program and there is no cost to participate.

   Please contact Jill with questions about this program. 

Rachel’s Vineyard is a safe place to renew, rebuild, and redeem hearts broken by abortion. Our retreats offer you a supportive, confidential and non-judgmental environment where women and men can express, release and reconcile painful post-abortive emotions to begin the process of restoration, renewal and healing. 

Many people have questions like these…

• How could I let myself do this?

• Will I ever be able to forgive myself?

• Where were the people who could have helped me?

• Do I have the right to grieve the loss of my child?

• Why hasn’t the pain or shame gone away, even after all these years?

• Can I rebuild a relationship with God?

We understand.
