All are welcome. With the distinction of being the first group of its kind in the United States, the Divorced Catholic Group of the Paulist Center offers support and understanding to people who are going through, or have gone through, the pain of separation, divorce, or the death of a spouse. The DCG is composed of both Catholics and non-Catholics in all stages of the healing process. We have successfully reached out to people of all faiths, who are experiencing the loss, loneliness, and bereavement due to the end of a marriage or relationship. The Group is organized into self-help groups and a very active social component.
Membership is free.
There are no dues or fees. People may participate in some or all of the events as they choose. Many people are active in the self-help groups described below, while others choose only to participate in and enjoy the social events. For those who choose, the Sunday Liturgy and the coffee following are both spiritually and socially refreshing. Initially, people attend the Newcomers Group where DCG is explained and where you get a feel for who we are.
