Ministry of Consolation Training

Grief Changes People.
Grief changes families.
Grief changes routines.
Grief changes the way people see the world.

When someone experiences loss, they rarely need perfect answers. More often, they need a compassionate presence, a listening ear, and someone willing to simply stay beside them.

The Ministry of Consolation Training prepares individuals to accompany those who are grieving with faith, compassion, and practical tools rooted in Christ's love.

If your heart has ever been moved by the suffering of another person, this invitation may be for you.

Be present
Be a source of comfort
Be a witness of hope

Join us for this life-changing formation and learn how to bring Christ's consoling love to those who need it most.

Register today. Space is limited:

Ponte Vecchio: Building Bridges of Hope!

Family Life Ministry is grateful to the welcoming community of Prince of Peace Catholic Community for hosting the Ponte Vecchio program.

Ponte Vecchio accompanies those who have experienced divorce, offering hope, healing, and spiritual support during a time that can feel deeply painful and isolating.

Divorce represents a real loss—the end of shared life, dreams, and family stability. Through faith, community, and compassionate accompaniment, this ministry helps individuals begin a path toward healing and renewed hope.

We invite parish leaders, ministry volunteers, and anyone interested in accompanying others to consider participating in this formation and helping bring this ministry of healing to their parish communities.

Together, we can help ensure that no one walks this journey alone.

Many women carry the weight of their families alone.

Single, widowed, divorced—women who are the heart and backbone of their homes often walk this journey with faith, courage, and unseen sacrifices.

This is a call to women who feel moved to accompany, listen, pray, and build community—creating spaces where single mothers are seen, supported, and strengthened in Christ.

If you are a woman who knows this reality firsthand, Momentum: Catholic Single Mothers invites you to turn your lived experience into a ministry of compassion and hope, offering healing and support to women walking a path you once walked.

Come be part of this mission of hope.
