COURAGE and EnCOURAGE

Courage - A confidential place to gather with others who experience same-sex attractions and who are committed to helping one another to live chaste lives marked by prayer, fellowship and mutual support. 

EnCourage - A place for family and friends of individuals to gather to find helps, support, and fellowship

Picture
If you experience same-sex attractions, the Catholic Church wants you to know you are loved, valued, and a part of the Church. You are a child of God and redeemed by the blood of Christ and the peace and mercy of God are here to help you.

​Courage helps individuals receive pastoral support in the form of spiritual guidance, community prayer support and fellowship. ​
Picture
​If you are a friend or family members, of individuals who experience same-sex attraction EnCourage offers help and support. In some cases these friends or family members maybe members of Courage, but in other cases the individual may have drifted away from the Church, and family and friends may struggle with how to stay faithful to the Church's teaching and still be supportive of their loved ones.
