Guest Speaker: Lisa Irish, MEd, MA, BCC
As All Souls' Day approaches, we are reminded of the profound importance of remembering and honoring our loved ones who have gone before us. It is a time when our hearts are tender, and our need for comfort is great.
In response to the deep and ongoing need for compassionate support during times of loss, the Catholic Community of the Good Shepherd is offering a special evening of healing and hope. On Sunday, November 3rd, we invite you to join us for "Hope in the Land of Loss - Trust Your Grieving Heart", an inspiring 90-minute program led by Lisa Irish, a respected Catholic author, chaplain, and retreat leader. Lisa brings years of experience ministering to those in grief, and her insights offer comfort not only for those mourning recent losses but also for those still carrying the weight of long-ago grief.
This program will provide a safe space to explore your grief, acknowledge its sacredness, and receive spiritual guidance that offers hope in the midst of pain. Whether your loss is fresh or from years past, whether you’re grieving a loved one or navigating non-death losses, this evening will gently guide you toward healing and peace.
After the program, there will be light refreshments and an opportunity to purchase Lisa’s insightful book, Grieving: The Sacred Art: Hope in the Land of Loss.
We invite you to come, and to bring anyone in your life who could benefit from this time of shared reflection and comfort.

“Lisa Irish shows us that grief is our ally in the Land of Loss, and indeed, her book becomes our ally as well. Her insightful study and creative descriptions of grieving tap into our own experiences of loss. The roadmap is wise, but sensitive – grounded in hope – and reminds us to rest in God’s healing love.”
