Encourage has four goals that members focus on. These are read at the start of every meeting and practiced in daily life.

1. To promote a spirit of compassion and acceptance among the members so that they may share with one another their thoughts and experiences and so ensure that no one will have to face the problems of homosexual loved ones alone.
   
2. To foster the practice of service to others, spiritual reading, prayer, meditation, individual spiritual direction, frequent attendance at Mass, and the frequent reception of the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist.
   
3. To encourage loved ones in the development of chaste friendships.
   
4. To witness by good example to others who have homosexual loved ones.
