Catholic Charities Maine Family Life Institute recognizes the pain and trauma of a lost marriage and extends ministry to the divorced through its "Divorce & Beyond" support groups. The groups meet for 8 weeks and are closed after the second week. They are facilitated by trained volunteers, many of whom have experienced divorce themselves. Topics include Anger, Stress, Guilt, Blame, Self-Image, Hope and Recovery, and how one's faith can be tested in the process. "Divorce & Beyond" groups are usually offered in the spring and fall at various parish locations. For the latest meeting times and locations visit the Ministry to the Divorced and Separated, or contact the Ministry. |

The Family Life Institute also supports "Connected Catholics," neither a support group nor a dating service, but a group of single, widowed and divorced Catholic men and women, who gather to share their faith journey, celebrate life, participate in their Church, grow in faith, and build a better life in their community. The Divorce Ministry and Connected Catholics work collaboratively on special programs of interest to divorced, widowed and single parishioners. For more information visit the Ministry to the Divorced and Separated, or contact the Ministry. |
