The day includes speakers, quiet reflection, creative activities, Adoration, and time to share your own experience with other parents who understand. It is free to attend and all meals and materials are provided to you. Free will donation accepted.

Speakers: Mark Osborn lost his son, Sam, to muscular dystrophy four years ago. His journey through grief found him walking the Camino de Santiago in honor of his son. Hear from Mark what he has learned about grief and healing from a parent's perspective.

Deacon Jim Tardy is a Deacon of the Archdiocese of Omaha, where he works with Catholic Cemeteries as a grief counselor and outreach manager. After losing his wife, Virginia, suddenly, Deacon Tardy learned important lessons through his own grief, which led to a new ministry. He developed a path to healing by meditating on the Stations of the Cross. Known as "The Way Through Grief," his program has helped many learn how to lean on Jesus and their faith as they carry their own pain.
