Presently, the Jewish Catholic Couples Dialogue Group is comprised of Jewish-Catholic people who are dating, engaged, married and married with children. The Dialogue Group gathers monthly for a general meeting, which focuses on issues of the Catholic and Jewish faiths. The group hosts special sessions to prepare other couples for marriage. The Dialogue Group has been instrumental in establishing a Family School, that is responsible for the religious faith development of their children. One of the great dreams for many young adults is to be married.
More people marry during their young adult years than at any other time in life.
One of the greatest tragedies is when a marriage does not last. The loneliness, pain and emotional suffering can be intense. Having the opportunity to be with peers who have 'been there' themselves can be comforting and helpful. The Young Adult Ministry Office co-sponsors a Support Group for young adults who have been divorced or are currently separated. The Group meets on Monday evenings in the 711 W. Monroe office building in downtown Chicago.
