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 after a death to support those in our parish who are grieving.

A funeral planner 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. Contact Margaret Emsweller in the parish office at 615-777-8918 to plan  a funeral at Christ the King. A copy is available below 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.

Grief Support Group Sessions beginning Saturday Sept. 21, 2024
Christ the King provides a 6 week Grief Support Group for those who have suffered the loss of a loved one. We offer a safe space to share and be with others experiencing grief, who will listen and offer their support.
