Widows & Widowers Group Profile

Among the many social and cultural activities of the St. Thomas Widow and Widowers Group are opportunities to

attend stage shows such as “Thoroughly Modern Millie” at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts.

Mission Statement:

To offer support, companionship, healing and “some fun in your life.”

We are open to anyone who has lost a spouse or has a friend who has suffered a family loss. Most members join after the initial grief recovery phase and are seeking activities suited to a single person ready to transition into social groups. Since 2001, we have evolved into one of our parish’s most active social groups and ministries with over 60 people from Los Gatos, Half Moon Bay, East Palo Alto and Menlo Park.

On-going Activities:

Many social and cultural activities in addition to monthly meetings where desserts are served.

Recent Activities:

Restaurant lunches and dinners, concerts, picnics, train outings to Giants baseball games and Reno, Filoli garden tours, stays at Pajaro Dunes, attendance at Broadway-style shows.
