Courage members are men and women who experience same-sex attractions, desire to grow in holiness by embracing chastity and charity, and strive to deepen their relationship with God. They are inspired by the Gospel call to holiness and the Catholic Church's beautiful teachings about the goodness and inherent purpose of human sexuality.
Through this ministry, people who experience same-sex attraction receive pastoral support through spiritual guidance, community prayer support and fellowship.
