The loss of a spouse often causes feelings of loneliness. However, after a period of adjustment, a person will be ready to move forward to become involved in meeting people and participating in varied social activities.

   With the help of a fine group of volunteers, Widowed Friends supports the need of members to get on with their life by providing a variety of activities such as small group local happenings, as well as larger events involving the entire Widowed Friends community.

Widowed Friends Dinner

   Every other month Widowed Friends gather for dinner at the American Polish Cultural Center. This popular activity continues to draw over 100 widowed men and women. It provides a perfect setting to enjoy the company of old friends and an opportunity to meet new people.

Local Happenings

   Other geographically arranged dinners, shows, river cruises, house parties, etc. have been instrumental in helping form new friendships within local areas. All widowed men and women are welcome to attend Local Happenings in any area. Carpooling is encouraged so that members can attend a greater number of activities.

Social Events

   Larger events, including the Spring Fever Party, the Summer Picnic, Fall Fling and the Christmas Party continue to grow in popularity. Indoor and outdoor games, music, dancing, catered meals and much more contribute to a variety of interests and wonderful times among your new friends.

Travel

   Members who enjoy traveling may take advantage of formal or informal travel opportunities. A Panama cruise attracted many members. Day trips, such as river cruises, Frankenmuth, etc. allow us to explore many interesting local destinations.

   Everyone is welcome to attend all events. You need only to RSVP by the indicated time. The events are publicized in our newsletter, parish bulletins and vicariate newsletters.
