ON THIS ROCK

The Compassionate Friends
The Compassionate Friends is a national, nonprofit, self help support organization for families after a child dies from any cause and at any age, from unborn through adulthood.
A newly chartered Chapter TCF of The Fox Valley will begin holding meetings in April, offering friendship, understanding, and hope to families grieving the death of a child. TCF has no religious affiliation, and no individual membership fees or dues are charged. All bereaved family members are welcome. Founded in England in 1969, TCF was established in the United States in 1972, with 501(c)(3) not-for-profit incorporation in 1978. We now have a newly chartered TCF of The Fox Valley of Wisconsin to begin serving Oshkosh and the Fox Valley area and surrounding communities.
Meetings will be starting in April and will be held the 3rd Thursday of each month at 6:00 PM at Father Carr’s Place 2B, 1062 N. Koeller, Oshkosh, WI 54902. Phone: (Linda) 920-267-3108 email: foxvalleytcf@gmail.com www.compassionatefriends.org

About Us
Father Carr’s Place 2B is a Life Enrichment Center that ministers to the poor and provides family and community activities. We were founded by Father Martin Carr in 1974 as a Catholic Organization but welcome everyone. Our services are provided primarily by volunteers and we receive no government money. We are funded entirely by private donors and rely upon the generosity of others.
Our nearly 10-acre campus includes 4 buildings that serve as a community center, free medical clinic, community food bank, retreat center, dining rooms for daily meals, chapel and housing for the homeless. Our goal is to provide hope. We mentor others to foster independence and build a healthier life. Our volunteer opportunities and family fun activities help to build a strong community. Please help us make it stronger through your prayers, time, talents, or financial gifts. Thank you. Read more..
