Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat

www.rachelsvineyard.org/

Project Rachel is the Catholic Church's ministry to those who have been involved in abortion, is a diocesan-based network of specially trained priests, religious, counselors, and laypersons who provide a team response of care for those suffering in the aftermath of abortion. In addition to referring for Sacramental Reconciliation, the ministry provides an integrated network of services, including pastoral counseling, support groups, retreats and referrals to licensed mental health professionals.

It's normal to grieve a pregnancy loss, including the loss of a child by abortion. It can form a hole in one's heart, a hole so deep that sometimes it seems nothing can fill the emptiness. Be assured that there is forgiveness, hope and healing - many women and men have participated in diocesan Project Rachel Ministries and returned to a loving relationship with God.

From COURAGE International, a Catholic apostolate that faithfully embraces the Church’s teaching on homosexuality and her norms for pastoral care, ministering to those who strive to live chaste lives rooted in the love of Jesus Christ, comes a profoundly moving documentary: “Desire of the Everlasting Hills”. Here are the intimate and candid portraits of three Catholics who struggle to navigate the waters of self‑understanding, faith, and homosexuality.

“Desire of the Everlasting Hills” is a must watch for teens before encountering same-sex attraction on the job or away at school.
