Facilitators for our new GriefShare Team are Needed
What is a Facilitator?
A person that guides and shepherds a small group. The primary role of a facilitator is to create an atmosphere of warmth, caring, and trust in the discussion group. This person will also encourage discussion and a time of personal sharing about what is going on in the lives of each participant in their group.
A Facilitator will need the following characteristics:
1. Profess a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, this is the foundation for healing.
2. Demonstrate spiritual maturity—be active, participating members of the parish
3. Have experienced grief—those that have experienced grief have an intimate understanding of the needs of
someone suffering with grief.
4. Have recovered from their grief—have experienced considerable healing (at least one year after their
grief event).
5. Have a sense of calling—the need to do work for the Lord.
Ask yourself these few questions:
Have you experienced the deep grief of losing a loved one to death? Have you learned valuable lessons and experienced healing from the hurt? Would you like to help others do the same? Then please call the Parish Center at 412-672-9641 or e-mail [email protected].
