Courage International: The Diocese of Corpus Christi has established a chapter of Courage International. This ministry is for women and men in our diocese who have same-sex attractions but want help to live in holiness faithful to the teachings of the Catholic Church. We are all called to live chaste lives. However, persons with same-sex attractions face the challenge of chastity with unique and often very difficult personal struggles. The program is designed to be faith-based, educational, socially enriching and a safe place for honest discussion. If you are Catholic and live with an attraction to persons of the same sex contact Father John Ouellette, Chaplain for Courage at courage@diocesecc.org. All correspondences and meetings are confidential.
