Domestic Violence Survivor Advocacy Fund

Thank you for supporting our work with those affected by domestic abuse in all of its insidious forms, including physical harm, name-calling and insults, destruction of property, infidelity, pornography use, marital rape, manipulation and control, withholding or removal of access to financial resources, stalking, gaslighting/lying/ deception. 

These atrocities are utter violations of a person’s dignity. Domestic abuse leaves women afraid, anxious, overwhelmed and confused. Growing up in an abusive environment is profoundly harmful to children with long-lasting, and potentially life-long, repercussions.  

There is an unfortunate void when it comes to a well-informed pastoral response to domestic abuse and a parishioner’s access to Catholic resources. We are committed to changing that and to supporting the healing of hearts, marriages and families. Thank you for your generous support.
