Of all the pains that life can hand us, arguably one of the most searing is the death of a child. The Emmaus Ministry for Grieving Parents is a Catholic ministry rooted in the rich teachings of the Church and the promise of eternal life. Through virtual and in-person spiritual retreats, it offers powerful ways for grieving parents to find the peace, comfort, and hope that they need most. As Jesus joined his distraught disciples on the road to Emmaus after his crucifixion, we ask him to join each of us in this ministry as we continue on our difficult journeys from grief to the healing peace that we, like Jesus’ disciples, can find in the Eucharistic community.

These spiritual retreats for grieving parents are offered by grieving parents. The Emmaus Ministry provides a safe place where one can find peace, comfort, and hope, at least for a time. We serve the spiritual needs of parents whose children of any age have died by any cause, no matter how long ago. The entire retreat focuses on the parents’ personal spiritual journey, where one can engage as much or as little as one wants.
