If someone you love is having same sex attraction, you are not alone. Spiritual encouragement, practical advice and support are available. Courage, an Apostolate of the Roman Catholic Church, ministers to those with same-sex attraction and their loved ones.

EnCourage, is part of that Apostolate and includes an outreach to parents, siblings or friends of those with same-sex attraction. Discussion, prayer, emotional support, understanding and fellowship are the central focuses of monthly meetings. It also promotes reception of the Sacraments and spiritual direction within a circle of compassion and confidentiality.
