OR THOSE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE DEATH OF A LOVED ONEMany surviving family members find themselves with confused, even troubling thoughts and feelings following the death of a loved one. The
Bereavement Support Group will provide you the opportunity to work through your grief in a very supportive environment, with other parishioners. You will learn how grief affects you emotionally, physically, and spiritually. As you learn more about grief, it becomes less threatening and easier to cope with. You will learn to dispel common myths, such as: grief and mourning are the same experience, and there is a predictable and orderly progression to the experience. For many grievers being able to open up and talk about some of the difficult and painful issues of grief helps the healing process. JOIN US: Thursday mornings, 9:30 –10:30am at Christ the King, beginning August 14th, 2008. If you are interested in attending, please call Joe Gomez at 542-0531 OR Michelle Whitney, Coordinator of Adult Enrichment, Christ the King Parish at 542-9248, ext.21.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
"How kind is our sacramental Jesus! He welcomes you at any hour of the day or night. His love never knows rest. He is always most gentle towards you. When you visit him, he forgets your sins and speaks only of His joy, His tenderness, and His love, By the reception he gives to you one would think He has need of you to make Him Happy. (St. Peter Julian Eymard)
We are fortunate to have the Servants of the Blessed Sacrament in Pueblo. Please see this information if you would like to be a part of their Eucharistic Adoration program. They are in need of participants for their Adoration programs. This is a wonderful opportunity to grow spiritually. We are so fortunate to have it available. Try it!
