About Courage
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. Courage has 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!" Courage also has an outreach called Encourage which ministers to relatives and friends of persons with same-sex attractions.
From the Courage 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 Listservs, or in person at Chapter Meetings, Conferences, Days of Recollection, and Retreats.
