Courage & Encourage Apostolate
This apostolate is made up of respectively two spiritual support groups helping Catholic men and women—and their families—to live in accordance with the Catholic Church's pastoral teaching on homosexuality.
This support group is framed within the context of strict confidentiality.
Individuals are invited to come and support each other as they strive to embrace the Church's ideal of living fully the virtue of chastity. Knowing this is a life long process and certainly not an easy task, Courage & Encourage is based on the idea that true friends can support each other in the hardest of times. True life-giving friendships are worth more than one can imagine.
If you are a person struggling with same gender attraction and would like to have the confidential support of others, we invite you to join in the conversation!
