Divorce Ministry and New Beginnings

The Church is against divorce but never against divorced people.  We want to help you pick up the pieces and cope with feelings of loss, shame, failure, and hopelessness.  Let us connect you with others who have walked in your shoes.

We offer a special healing ministry for men and women experiencing the pain of separation and divorce. We work to dispel common myths about the Church’s teaching on divorce and provide resources for a new beginning. We meet the second Friday of each month at 6:45 p.m. in Tarantino Hall.

For more information, contact us at (415) 435-1122, or at dianar@sthilary.org.  Or click here to request more information online.

“When I realized that our family was going to experience a divorce, I felt scared, lost, and alone. I remember going to Midnight Mass at St. Hilary with my six-month-old baby and silent tears running down my cheeks. A fellow parishioner reached out and put his arm on my shoulder, and I felt accepted and loved. We offer that same help, support and love to anyone facing a separation or divorce, wherever you are on that journey.”  - Karen Beale
