Mental Health Ministry
Sanctuary Course for Catholics
We are offering the Sanctuary Course for Catholics Monday evenings from September 25- November 20 (no meeting Oct 9) from 7:30-9:00 via Zoom. This serves as an introduction to Mental Health Ministry from a Catholic perspective.
From there, we will start exploring parishes within the Archdiocese that would like to begin Mental Health ministries. However, we wanted to start with a common foundation for understanding of Mental Health. To register, click this link.
