Our Domestic Church evaluated several programs before selecting Journey of Hope, which is a simple and effective solution that brings hope and healing to separated or divorced Catholics. Journey of Hope has a proven track record of nearly twenty years, having helped hundreds of men and women across the US and in Canada to understand the issues they face from a truly Catholic perspective. It is strongly rooted in the teachings of the Church and stresses the importance of the Sacraments as well as providing an excellent platform for addressing their particular challenges and concerns.
Using the book, Divorced. Catholic. Now What?, with companion Workbook and the Voices of Hope DVD, we accompany participants individually or in groups. Participants read the agreed chapter(s) prior to each session and come prepared to review their insights, concerns and questions. The corresponding video chapter from Voices of Hope supplements our personal accompaniment or group discussions. Voices of Hope presents the hope and encouragement offered by thirty-five Catholic men and women who have suffered through divorce as well as Catholic clergy and counseling experts in the field of healing.I'm Interested in Learning More
