Hope and healing are available for those who are separated or divorced.
For the newly separated and divorced, as well as for those still struggling with issues many years later, we invite you to join us for Surviving Divorce. Together we will help each other answer questions, restore hope, and begin authentic healing from the pain and loneliness of a broken marriage. Program facilitators Cathie Cassano and Deacon Josh McDonald have been through it and are here to help.
Join us at St. John Vianney Church in South Burlington, for this twelve-session program, beginning Wednesday, Sept. 13, at 6:30PM. To register, or for more information, contact Deacon Josh at jmcdonald@vermontcatholic.org or 802-857-8841.
