| Belonging Group is an outreach programme | ||
| that is currently held monthly on the first | ||

| indications ofthe success ofthe work, | ||

| continuing strength ofour parish communities | ||
| and the individualjourneysoffaith ofour | ||
| parishioners. Sick and elderly parishioners | ||
| received the Eucharist and Sacrament ofthe | ||
| Sick, the dying and their relatives received | ||
| comfort and support. We believe that aiding the | ||
| grieving process for relatives involves | ||
| providing consistent, practical, and emotional | ||
| support that acknowledges the unique nature of | ||
| their loss. Effective supportoften focuses on | ||
| "being there," listening without judgment, and | ||
| helping with daily tasks, ratherthan trying to | ||
| "fix" the pain. | ||
| The Charity supports various missionary | ||
| activities run by Missionaries ofLa Salette in | ||
| UkraineandMadagascar. |
