Hospice of Northwest Ohio also has a number of grief support groups that are open to children and adults. As the times and dates for these groups may vary, the best way to connect to these services is to call Hospice at 419-661-4001.

This group provides a safe place during the critical transition of your life.  As we come together, we can learn more about divorce and separation by listening and sharing with others who are also walking this difficult journey.  Going through a divorce or separation is very difficult to understand and work through.  Our support group provides an environment of complete confidentiality.  We meet on Tuesday evenings from September through May in the Conference Room at 7:00 pm.  All are welcome to attend.  You do not have to be a parishioner of St. Pat's or be of the Catholic faith to attend, so bring a friend. For more information, contact Rita.
