Our Monthly PIETA Sessions
Gathering in prayer

“Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, who leads us in our faith and brings it to perfection”

~ Hebrews 12:2

Companionship through faith is the basis of Pieta’s vocation. We are available to any parent who has experienced the death of their child, regardless of the child's age (unborn or adult) or circumstance, and no matter how recently or how long ago the loss was experienced.  You are welcome to participate in finding peace and new hope as we gather together each time.

“My own peace I give you …” ~ John 14:27

When we meet, we pray together, share our thoughts and break open the WORD of GOD together. Scripture and the various forms of prayer and spiritual exercises can bring us wisdom and consolation, and revitalise us to the fullness of life. In the silence of our hearts, we begin to hear and see God’s presence in our lives. Together we accompany each other on this journey of faith to experience the peace only Christ can give.

FOR ZOOM MEETINGS : PROTOCOLS TO OBSERVE

​

For the meeting to run effectively and in a supportive manner, we have set up some basic guidelines, in addition to our usual rules on respect, confidentiality etc:

Your Physical Space

1. To ensure everyone's privacy, please use a "secure" and quiet space (eg enclosed room) to "dial in" so that we may focus on our session without interruption.

2. We encourage you to use a desk/laptop as we will be sharing prayers on slides and your mobile phone might be limited. 

3. Use headphones or earphones for clearer reception.

On-line etiquette

​1. Turn on your camera so we can see you on-line - it is important to put a face to the voice to simulate some form of support for each other

2. Do not record or take any screen shots of the session, to observe privacy rules

3. Mute your device unless speaking - we will moderate the sequence of the speakers as best we can.

4. When speaking, please speak slowly as some devices may lag and cause listening difficulties.

5. If you need to leave the meeting, please inform us using the "chat" facility on the side.

6. If you are dialing in from overseas, please check the time difference so that you will be able to join us on time.
