Several of our Cathedral high school students attend the Chesterton Academy of Notre Dame.  We are also blessed that Mr. Shane O’Doherty, Cathedral parishioner, serves as the Headmaster of Notre Dame.

These words spoken by a Catholic kid to his or her parents can be the source of much pain and confusion.  Parents love their children, worry about them, and want them to lead happy and holy lives. There is a Catholic Apostolate that may be of some help.  Courage International offers pastoral care both to persons who experience same-sex attractions and to those who love them.  Members of our Cathedral Family who struggle with same-sex attractions need to know they belong to a supportive community that is willing to walk with them on this journey.   When done respectfully, mercifully, and lovingly, this journey can lead to true freedom which is found in the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Church.
