A caring group of people worked to create a program focusing on Catholic healing after divorce. This nine-week program helps divorced Catholics navigate through life issues relating to their life, faith, and family. Proclaimed Catholic author Rose Sweet gives us insight on the subject of divorce saying, "Everything we seek from others should remind us that at the root of each desire is really the heart's longing for God. We keep spinning our wheels to get others to love us, but He alone can satisfy." We use the “Catholic Divorce Survival Guide” and the DVD series. This series is sacramentally based and focuses on healing in God’s love, giving up anger, resentment, frustration, and grudges, and moving toward an open heart, full of love and forgiveness and spiritual fulfillment. 

• Spring 2024 Session, which begins Wednesday, March 6, 2024. (There is a small fee for the session materials that can be waived if you are experiencing financial difficulties.) Email Jayne Slaton at [email protected] with any questions.
