To mark the joyous occasion of its 40th anniversary of pastoral ministry, Courage International is pleased to present the latest edition of its Handbook for Courage and EnCourage Chaplains. This newly revised edition is rooted in the spiritual vision of our founding director Fr. John F. Harvey OSFS, and informed by the solidly Catholic goals laid out by our original members. Our new Handbook is essential reading, not only for Courage and EnCourage Chaplains, but for all of our members and friends who wish to gain a deeper understanding of the spirituality, practices, and beliefs which lay at the heart of this apostolate.

At the request of the Executive Board, this Handbook has been slightly updated as of September 23rd, 2025 to more clearly state Courage International policies. Paperback editions thus are still valid, albeit slightly different than the online edition. Updates do not reflect any changes in policies.
