Reflections
We’re excited to offer two opportunities to attend Understanding Change, Loss & Grief – A Workshop for Growth.
Change and loss are part of life—but how we experience and respond to them is deeply personal. Whether it's the loss of a loved one, a change in relationships, moving house, illness, job shifts, or financial strain, these experiences can have a lasting impact on our hearts, minds, bodies, and communities.
This 3-hour seminar is designed to help you explore the nature of grief and its many forms, guided by the well-regarded Seasons for Growth framework.
🌀 Together we’ll explore:
✨ How change and loss affect us physically, emotionally, socially, and mentally
✨ Your own experiences of grief and how others may grieve differently
✨ Practical ways to care for yourself and support others through change
This is not a counselling session or support group—it’s an educational and compassionate space to deepen your understanding and discover pathways to healing and growth.
📅 Dates and locations:
Monday 10th November, 2025 | 12:30 PM – 3:30 PM
📍 RACE Trentham – 10 Racecourse Road, Trentham, Upper Hutt
Tuesday 11th November, 2025 | 12:30 PM – 3:30 PM
📍 Catholic Social Services – Level 1, 132 Tory Street, Te Aro, Wellington
🧑 Who: Open to any adult navigating change or supporting others through it
💰 Cost: $40 (includes a workbook and light refreshments)
🍰 Afternoon tea provided
🌱 Like nature, we all have the capacity to heal and grow through life’s seasons.

Praying for peace
Taking up the call from our Holy Father Pope Leo, Archbishop Paul invites us to pray in October for peace.
Parishes throughout our Archdiocese will also be praying for peace on Sunday, 12 October, from 3-4pm or 4-5pm depending on the location. Check with your parish what time it’ll be held.
We hope you will join us in praying that we may live in harmony with one another here in our shared home on earth.
