A Mother’s Tears: Virtual Prayer Retreat For Those Grieving Child Loss

Monday, September 15th is the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. Let’s come together with the Red Bird family for a virtual prayer retreat to honor and love our Mother and her tears, and our tears as well. The broken, Immaculate heart of Mary is a refuge for our broken hearts.

The prayer retreat will include two reflections on Our Lady’s sorrows, the Chaplet of Tears, a song meditation, and an opportunity for sharing. This is a “come as you are” event – no active participation is required. Both mothers and fathers are welcome.

Monday, September 15, 2025
7:00 pm CT – 8:15 pm CT (8pm EST – 9:15pm EST)

Access to the prayer retreat is available through the Events section on the Red Bird app. Join our Red Bird community for monthly prayer retreats, spiritual direction, comfort calls, sibling support, Dad’s grief support nights, and our extensive grief resource video and information library.

For more information, reach out to Elizabeth Leon at elizabeth@redbird.love.

I declare that the receipt of the person professing to be the Pastor or Parochial Administrator of the parish shall be sufficient discharge to my Trustee who need not see to the application thereof.
