Are you a parent who has lost a child and would appreciate support?
Whether it happens through miscarriage, stillbirth, or later in life, the death of a child is a deep and tragic loss for parents and their hopes and dreams for the future. No matter what the age, cause of death, or how much time has passed, the grief over the loss of a child weighs heavily on the hearts of parents.
This retreat is being offered on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at Holy Spirit Parish in Saginaw. The day begins at 9:30 a.m. and ends by 7:00 p.m. During this spiritual retreat, everyone is free to participate at their comfort level. There is no cost to attend, but a free will offering to help offset the day’s cost is appreciated. All donations should be made to the Diocese of Saginaw.
