Welcome Fr. Paul Check!

Are you or a loved one experiencing homosexual attractions and looking for answers?
      
Courage, an apostolate of the Roman Catholic Church, ministers to those with same-sex attractions and their loved ones. We have been endorsed by the
Pontifical Council for the Family and our beloved John Paul II said of this ministry, "COURAGE is doing the work of God!"  We also have an outreach called Encourage which ministers to relatives and friends of persons with same-sex attractions.

From our website you will learn about homosexuality and chastity.  By developing an interior life of chastity, which is the universal call to all Christians, one can move beyond the confines of the homosexual identity to a more complete one in Christ. 

In Courage you will get to know men and women who share in your concerns, meeting them online through our Listservs, or in person at Chapter Meetings, Conferences, Days of Recollection, and Retreats. 

Come see what we are about.  Browse our pages.  Get to know our community.   You'll be glad you did!
