Grief Ministry

The Christ the King Grief Ministry offers care and support for parishioners who experience the death of a loved one. Calls and visits to the bereaved are made and grief materials are provided for the year after a death to support in the grieving process.

CTK Grief Support Group, 2nd Thursday of each month (Due to Covid and the Delta Variant, we are not meeting at this time.)
A group to support parishioners grieving the loss of a loved one meets on the 2nd Thursday of each month, from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm at the Villa, 3007 Oakland Ave., across the street from the church/school portico.  The group provides a safe haven for dialogue and socializing with others’ who are dealing with loss and navigating the grief process. For more information, contact Margaret Emsweller at margaret.emsweller@ctk-nashville.org 
 or 615-777-8918.

A funeral booklet has been prepared by Christ the King Church to assist families planning a Mass of Christian Burial or Memorial Service for a loved one. It is our hope that by choosing the readings and music with your loved one in mind, you and your family might participate more fully in the liturgy and express your love for the deceased. A copy is available below or in the parish office for preplanning your funeral or the funeral of a loved one.

 A Mass of Remembrance and reception is held in November to remember those who have gone before us. The Mass also includes recognition of parishioners who have died in the past year.
