Divorce Support Ministry

Holy Family offers support and concern for those separated or divorced.  We reach out with care for children in the family and the person experiencing divorce through support groups, prayers, cards and notes of support, referrals as requested, and a caring Companion Minister if interested. Several times per year, we offer a divorce care program for divorced and separated Catholics, “The Catholic’s Divorce Survival Guide”.  It is centered on twelve professionally mastered DVD shows featuring twelve REAL LIFE divorce stories of hope and healing. They are young and old; their spouse left some of them. Others felt forced to file for divorce. Regardless, no one wanted to end up this way. They are worried about their kids, money, the future, what others will say, and what the church says about state of life. Can they go to Communion? Are they excommunicated? Do they have to get an annulment? These are questions they had, and ones others may have, too. With each DVD there is time for discussion, reflection and support. Watch the bulletin and newsletter for dates and times the group will begin.  If you are experiencing separation, divorce or would like information on annulment, please contact the Phyllis Powers-Fata for support and resources.
