The Tears Foundation is a local 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that seeks to compassionately assist bereaved parents with the financial expenses they face in making final arrangements for their precious baby who has died.  Many of the founders and volunteers at The Tears Foundation have experienced the loss of their own baby, and want to reach out in this way to support newly bereaved parents in their time of devastating sorrow. 

The Tears Foundation offers several free support groups for bereaved families who have experienced the death of their baby.  Each group is hosted by a trained "Peer Companion", a bereaved parent or family member who has had at least 2 years in the grief process, and has completed the TEARS training. 

St. Mary's TEARS support group meets the 4th Wednesday of each month, 7:00 pm - 9:00 PM, in the prayer room.  This is an open group with a discussion and topic for bereaved families to discuss each month.  For more information, please contact Anneke Berry.
