Support Groups
Online Catholic Divorce Support Group
You are not so different. Your story is not unlike everyone else. You are loved and deserving of community, connection, support, and hope. Bring your emotional, spiritual, physical, parental, and relationship struggles and receive experienced coaching and support. Listen to others who help us know that we all struggle , but we are all in this together.
The group meets twice per month on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday on Zoom, beginning June 18, 2024. Join in on June 18 with no commitment. Email Carolyn Klika to receive the Zoom link at carolyn@aboundingjoyministry.com or call 608.547.9484.
