Encourage is an apostolate of the Roman Catholic Church, reaching out to families and loved ones of those who struggle with same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria.  Through this apostolate, we give friendship and support, founded on the human understanding and teachings of the Catholic Church.
This page is intended to be a place to find and share resources that some of our families have found helpful.


​For more information about this ministry, meeting times and places or to talk with a priest, please contact Fr. Kendall Ketterlin

Goals of Encourage

To grow spiritually through spiritual reading, prayer, meditation, individual spiritual direction, frequent attendance at Mass and the frequent reception of the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Eucharist.

To gain a deeper understanding of the needs, difficulties and challenges experienced by men and women who experience same-sex attractions.

To establish and maintain a healthy and wholesome relationship with our loved ones who experience same-sex attractions.

To assist other family members and friends to read out with compassion and truth to, and not to reject, their loved ones who experience same-sex attractions.

To witness to our loved ones by our own lives that fulfillment is to be found in Jesus Christ though His Body, the Church.
