 Friends
Forever / Bereavement
Friends Forever is a social group, previously known as Consoling
Friends. Any person who has lost a loved one in the past is invited
to join. The group meets several times a year ~ a general meeting in
March, an indoor picnic in June, a pot-luck supper in September, the
All Souls Day Mass in November, and a Christmas party in December.
The group also sponsors day, overnight, and longer trips. Members
often invite friends who have lost a loved one to join the group
activities. Also, a few months after the funeral, Friends Forever
members contact parishioners that have suffered a recent loss to see
how they are coping and to offer information about grief counseling
and bereavement resources in the community. New members are always
welcome. St. Isaac Jogues offers funeral luncheons to any
parishioner after the funeral. There is no charge and volunteers
from Friends Forever prepare the lunches. The luncheon consists of
sandwiches, salads, dessert, and beverages.
