Closer to the support group’s kick-off start date (September 27) more information will be emailed to you, and please know that you won’t get your print materials until the first session.

This cost includes the book Life-Giving Wounds: A Catholic Guide to Healing for Adult Children of Divorce or Separation, the accompanying workbook, and a journal.
