This ministry aims to support all persons and their families in their quest for wholeness and holiness.
The Body of Christ in the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland is called to revere each person as a unique reflection of God's presence in our midst. We commit ourselves to become a community of care, support, formation, reconciliation and witness to justice with and among gay and lesbian persons, their parents, family members, and all who minister in and with this community.
Courage is a Catholic apostolate for men and women who experience same-sex attractions and who have made a commitment to strive for chastity. They are inspired by the Gospel call to holiness and the Catholic Church’s beautiful teachings about the goodness and inherent purpose of human sexuality.
Throughout the diocese there are individual outreach and family support groups. Click here to lean more.
