Stories of Survival: How Not to Let Your Divorce Separate You from the Catholic Church

June 2, 2026: Divorce can shake your identity, your confidence, and your sense of belonging — especially when your Catholic faith is deeply woven into your life.
Stories of Survival is a compassionate, 90minute workshop designed for men and women who feel torn between their lived reality and their spiritual roots.

Together, we’ll explore what the Church truly teaches about divorce, dispel painful myths, and name the emotional and spiritual challenges divorced men and women often face. You’ll gain practical tools for staying connected to your faith, discover supportive resources, and reflect on your own resilience and strength.

If you’ve ever wondered whether there is still a place for you in the Church, this workshop will remind you: you are seen, you are valued, and you still belong.

Date:

Tuesday, June 2, 2026

Time/Place:

Tuesday, 7:00 – 8:30 PM, Zoom
