All are invited to join us on a pilgrimage to the National Shrines of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton & the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, sponsored by the NEPA Chapter of Catholic Mental Health Ministers.
Date: June 7, 2025Registration: $40.00 per person - last day to register is May 22.
Our goal is to ensure that no one feels alone in his or her struggle with mental illness. Sharing each other’s stories can be a liberating and welcome break in the silence that often surrounds mental illness. This is the place to speak out and be heard in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental environment, where isolation and stigma dissipate as supportive community is created.
The spiritual support groups are not group therapy but a ministry in which members seek to help support others during their time of need and to grow spiritually in their relationship with God. One does not need to be Catholic to participate but Catholic prayers and devotions will be used.
The meetings will open with a prayer. This is followed with individual sharing and support by group members. Group members are encouraged but not required to share experiences. The second half of the meeting will be spiritually based with reflections on scripture and spiritual readings along with prayer.
The experience of prayer, supportive relationships and inner strength. You will find that you are not alone.
