Courage

Are you or a loved one experiencing homosexual attractions and looking for answers?

Courage, an apostolate of the Roman Catholic Church, ministers to those with same-sex attractions and their loved ones. We have been endorsed by the Pontifical Council for the Family and our beloved John Paul II said of this ministry, "COURAGE is doing the work of God!" We also have an outreach called Encourage which ministers to relatives and friends of persons with same-sex attractions.

From our website you will learn about homosexuality and chastity. By developing an interior life of chastity, which is the universal call to all Christians, one can move beyond the confines of the homosexual identity to a more complete one in Christ.

Mission Trips - Short term and long term missions

 

We are an organized apostolate ("Family") of Catholic laity dedicated to missionary evangelism. Each of us is called to holiness of life. As missionaries, we are called to live God’s Word as Jesus did, to proclaim it boldly to others, to work it into the fabric of human society and culture, to extend God’s love to all, especially to the oppressed and suffering poor. As Catholic laity, we are formed by the teaching of our Church Magisterium, working in concert with the pastors. The harvest is great, but laborers are few.

 

Our missionaries come from diverse places and backgrounds; they bring diverse perspectives, talents and charisms. Some of us will serve for a summer, two years, or an indefinite term; some of us are called to serve as foreign missionaries for life. We go out two-by-two, or as families or teams, to live among the people to whom the Lord sends us, to live and proclaim the Gospel there. We know we have a great deal to learn from the people, because “missions is a two-way street… we go to give what we have, but we always receive more than we give.” The fruitfulness of our lives as missionaries depends in large measure upon the prayers, material support and sacrifices of the entire people of God.

Father John Corapi, SOLT

Father is a perpetually professed priest member of the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity.
The pillars of father's preaching are basically three:

  • Love for and a relationship with the Blessed Virgin Mary which leads us into a vibrant and loving relationship with Jesus Christ.

  • Great love and reverence for the Most Holy Eucharist--from Holy Mass to adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

  • An uncompromising love for and obedience to the Holy Father and the teaching of the Magisterium of the Church.

Father Corapi's audio and video series on the Catechism of the Catholic Church entitled The Teaching of Jesus Christ has been widely acclaimed and is used throughout the world as a course in religious education and catechesis.

 

The essence of Father's message is the essential message of Jesus Christ. It is Good News: a message of truth and goodness, love and mercy. It is above all else a message of hope.

Zenit

ZENIT is a non-profit international news agency comprising a team of professionals and volunteers who are convinced of the extraordinary richness of the Catholic Church's message, particularly its social doctrine.

 

The ZENIT team sees this message as a light for understanding today's world. At the same time, we are aware that this richness is little known in the information world. This motivates us to strive to bring this message to the Internet, in the greatest possible number of languages.

 

Our objective is to inform about the "world seen from Rome," with professionalism and faithfulness to the truth. We aim to view the modern world through the messages of the Pope and the Holy See; tell about the happenings of the Church; and inform about the topics, debates and events that are especially interesting to Christians worldwide. ZENIT carries out this service independently.
