Grief Support Ministry

Grief Support Ministry


Our History

Sandra and Dennis Dillenschneider started this ministry after losing their son, Matthew, in 2022. Learning of various types of grief felt at Saint John Vianney, Dennis and Sandra felt called to help create a grief support ministry. They feel it is important that no one feels alone in their grief. The group has a wonderful communion with each other and especially with our loving God. Whether you have lost a child, spouse, parent, sibling, etc., please feel free to join them. No one needs to feel pressured to speak or share, but to just sit and know you are NOT alone.

How do I start?

This group meets every third Saturday at 2:30pm in the St. Anthony Room. Join any time!

  • Do I have to speak at meetings?

    No.  We may ask that you share, but there is no pressure.

  • Can I join if I have not experienced a death?

    There are many types of grief.  We welcome everyone, especially anyone who is experiencing great sorrow or suffering.
