"The program can be implemented by a small group, yet involve a broad segment of the parish in its work. Thus fostering a feeling of unity among all members of the congregation." -St. Mary's Church, La Porte, TX

"I have worked in all areas of grief ministry for the past 18 years and this is the first program I have encountered which provides a trained, organized umbrella for the Ministry. It is much needed." - Sr. Francis Klinger, C.D.P., Houston
