Journey of Hope

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Journey of Hope is a program for separated or divorced Catholics who wish to find healing and purpose after a divorce.

We currently use the Divorced, Catholic, Now What? Program by Lisa Duffy. This program is a lay-led weekly sessions of support that embraces a biblical, Christ-centered approach to divorce. We currently hold these sessions once per year.

Please join us for help and encouragement as you journey through the life changes you are, or are, about to face. We provide a safe and loving environment to encourage sharing and exchanging of concerns and feelings, as you feel comfortable.

Journey of Hope addresses the concerns of separated and divorced Catholics with the goal of helping them find healing through truths of the Catholic faith and the sacraments.

The program does not promote, encourage, or condone divorce. The goal is to offer healing to those already suffering because of divorce.

This group is open to all people in our community, regardless of religious affiliation. Please pass the information along to anyone you know who might need it. The next session will be posted on our website as well as in our bulletin.

The meetings are held from 6:00-7:15pm on Wednesdays in St. Michael Conference Room.
