†  Courage Ministry

The Courage Ministry is a support ministry for those who are struggling with same-sex attraction (SSA).

What does Courage believe:

• Persons with SSA can follow Jesus Christ according to Roman Catholic spiritual and moral teaching.
• Persons with SSA can develop an assured, grace-filled understanding of themselves while growing into their true identities as mature men and women.
• Homosexual attractions or feelings are not a sin; however, homosexual acts are immoral and do not lead to a deeper life in Christ.
• A person’s dignity does not depend upon his or her sexual attractions but upon his or her relationship to Jesus Christ.
• Men and women with SSA can lead chaste lives. Chastity, made possible by Christ’s redemption, is a liberating virtue and a source of joy and human freedom.
