From the Our Lady of Grace website:

Beryl is responsible for Pastoral Care, including working with families in grief, helping plan funerals, serving as the staff liaison for Grief Support, Separated and Divorced Support, homebound ministers, long-term care communion services, and Stephen Ministry.

Beryl is an articulate, curious and faith-filled woman.  She possesses a sense that there’s no such thing as a coincidence, and her life and work radiate gratitude.  If you sat down for coffee with Beryl you’d discover her life is filled with “God-shots,” events that transformed her life and direction, events she describes as “the heavy hand of the Holy Spirit.”

Beryl has a Religion degree from Duke University, an MBA from the Darden School at the University of Virginia, a Masters of Divinity from St. John’s University, and is a board certified chaplain.  She completed her chaplain residency at Abbott Northwestern Hospital.  Beryl writes a “Spiritually Speaking” column for the Eden Prairie News, interviews prospective students for Duke, and is the author of the recently released book “Habits of Resilience.”
