 ● People who are experiencing financial difficulties due to illness, furloughs, unexpected expenses ot other reasons

 ● Seniors who would like a sense of security and companionship

 ● Individuals relocating for work opportunities

ENCOURAGE SUPPORT GROUP - In offering support to parents dealing with concerns that present themselves when a son or daughter informs them of a homosexual orientation, our Catholic Bishops state: “You need not face this painful time alone, without human assistance or God’s grace.  The Church can be an instrument of both help and healing.”  Those confronting these issues for the first time as well as those who may be journeying through them are welcome. Confidentiality is respected. The group meets on the fourth Monday of each month.  For contact information and directions call Pat, 410-433-1610, or the Chancery Office, 410-547-5446.
