When a loved one dies, it can feel like you are alone. Few people understand the thoughts, feelings and the pain you are experiencing. This can lead to isolation, feelings of depression and extreme sadness and sorrow. All of these are normal. Yet, there is support through GriefShare. GriefShare is a 13 session support group for those who have experienced the loss of a loved one. A GriefShare session includes an informative video, discussion and sharing. It is said that “grief shared is grief diminished.” Our next GriefShare support group will begin on August 20, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m.. We will meet in the St. Clement Parish office meeting room. Pre-registration is encouraged by going to: griefshare.org/findagroup. There you can also find other GriefShare groups in the area (Platteville has one) if our time/dates do not work for you. Contact Marcia Hampton (732-8849) for more information or if you have questions.

Great Start Scripture reading and discussion on Monday mornings is temporarily cancelled. When we are ready to start again an announcement will be in the bulletin.

MARY A Biblical Walk with the Blessed Mother an 8-part Bible Study featuring Dr. Edward Sri Tuesdays, October 27- December 15 9:15-10:30 a.m. in the St. Clement Conference Room

Don't miss the opportunity to hear from renowned speaker Jason Evert, live at St. Therese of Lisieux Parish at St. Bernard's Church in Watertown, WI for this special Double Feature event for teens and adults, ages 13+. Get answers to life’s tough questions about love, dating, and relationships from internationally acclaimed speaker Jason Evert! This is a double feature event combining Purified and Gender & the Theology of Your Body into a retreat event. Purified brings parents and teens (13+) together to discover God’s plan for love and opens up an opportunity for them to continue the discussion about this important topic at home, in a healthy and easy way with resources that work. The event includes a new version of Jason’s renowned talk Love or Lust, where he mixes humor with down-to-earth practicality that removes any awkwardness, making the difficult conversations about love much easier. Your family will leave with an understanding of the good news of chastity, a healthy sense of self-worth, and the ability, if needed, to start again. Gender and the Theology of Your Body will follow after a short break. This presentation explores how Catholics can approach the topic of gender with charity and clarity. This talk is for teens and provides the opportunity to discuss this difficult topic facing teens and families today. This event includes Eucharistic Adoration, and an opportunity to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation. This format transforms a couple of talks into a retreat for the family, allowing them to encounter the source of purity, healing, and renewal, Jesus Christ.

Everyone is invited to attend the Bible Study at St. Charles' School on Wednesday mornings after the 8:15 a.m. Mass. You may bring a Bible or one will be available.
