Courage members are men and women who experience same-sex attractions and who have made a commitment to strive for chastity. They are inspired by the Gospel call to holiness and the Catholic Church’s beautiful teachings about the goodness and inherent purpose of human sexuality. Through our apostolate, people who experience same-sex attraction receive pastoral support in the form of spiritual guidance, community prayer support, and fellowship.

On 4 March 2023, the Parish Mental Health Ministry team of St Peter’s in Klerksdorp diocese received the first training focused on the implementation of the Ministry. Melese Shula (CATHCA’s Skills Development Officer who is also the coordinator for Parish Mental Health Ministry Chapter) had previously met with the Parish Pastoral Council of the Parish where he had explained to them what the Ministry would entail and the role of the leaders in its implementation. The parish Mental Health Ministry has already started raising awareness of the importance of Mental Health in the parish and some outreach work in nearby communities. The next step will be meeting with other stakeholders involved in mental health for a broader understanding of the challenges of mental health and initiating collaborative mechanisms.
