Divorce Recovery

Want to have the Catholic Divorce Recovery Program in your parish? Ask your Pastor if he would be willing to sponsor one or two parishioners to become a trained facilitator for the program.

The cost is $185 per parish kit, which will include one trained facilitator, a Leader’s Guide, Leader’s Journal, one set of The Catholic’s Divorce Survival Guide DVD’s, a participant journal,  and lunch for one trained facilitator. If the parish wishes to send more than one person to become a trained facilitator but only receive one parish kit, the additional cost will be $75 per person to cover their lunch and materials for the day.

To inquire about upcoming faciltator training opportunities and to register, please contact the Office of Marriage & Family Life at 337-261-5653. Next training is October 19, 2019.

It's true . . . there's no such thing as "Catholic Divorce" . . .but millions of Catholics DO get civilly divorced, and it affects and hurts us all.

Maybe you or someone you know has suffered the breakdown of their marriage and family, or maybe they are going through it right now.  There are a few parishes in our diocese who have a 6-week divorce recovery program based on The Catholic's Divorce Survival Guide.  Those who have been through the program have commented on how helpful it was for them, especially to be with other people going through similar experiences.

If you are interested in becoming a trained facilitator,  contact your pastor for more information.
