New Beginnings offers several services that will gently accompany the bereaved and the parish community in their adjustment to loss and the sorrow it entails. 

HOPE
Catholic Funeral Mass Planning and Coordination 
Our faith reminds us of the sure and certain hope that our loved one who died in Christ will rise with Him on the last day. A priest will guide you in planning a beautiful funeral liturgy for your deceased loved one. You will be assisted in choosing Scripture readings and hymns that express our Christian hope in Christ’s saving death and resurrection.

DRAW IT OUT 
Children's Grief Ministry 
Any life changing loss or life transition can significantly affect a child’s sense of wellbeing, leading to feelings of depression, withdrawal, anxiety, physical illness, struggles in school and sleep issues. It can be a hard journey for both children and their parents. Holy Spirit offers Draw It Out, an evidence-based program that accompanies children on their grief journey. In this small group setting, they find reassurance that they are not alone with peers facing their own losses. The coping skills they develop become a foundation for facing other inevitable losses throughout life. Extensively trained facilitators create a safe space where these children can explore overwhelming feelings and circumstances. Contact: Connie Theisen (970) 216-8977  [email protected]
