Catholic Divorce Ministry Council
IT IS A MATTER OF REACHING OUT TO EVERYONE, OF NEEDING TO HELP EACH PERSON FIND HIS OR HER PROPER
WAY OF PARTICIPATING IN THE ECCLESIAL COMMUNITY AND THUS TO EXPERIENCE BEING TOUCHED BY
AN ´UNMERITED, UNCONDITIONAL AND GRATUITOUS´ MERCY.”
-POPE FRANCIS, AMORIS LAETITIA #297
MISSION
We, the Catholic Divorce Ministry Council, serving under the Office of Marriage and
Family Life Ministry, seek to expand and support ministry programs that will
embrace families in transition due to divorce or separation. We will offer a
spiritual and emotional path to healing through education and support to those
in need of comfort and hope. Working in collaboration with clergy, parish, and
lay/peer leadership, we will train facilitators, promote awareness, and offer
resources for parish-based groups.
VISION
Provide guidance and support to parish ministries for separated and divorced to make individuals
feel welcomed and loved in the church community.
