Meetings of this ministry provide an opportunity for individuals who are experiencing separation or divorce from marriage to voice concerns, share experiences, present ideas, and ask questions about divorce in a friendly, confidential, respectful, non-judgmental, and safe setting. We are a Catholic God-centered support group. We do, however, welcome persons of different faiths. This is not a therapy group, nor is it a dating service. We meet on the first and third Wednesdays of the month at the Parish Center at St. James Chapel. 2079 Matunuck Schoolhouse Road, Charlestown, from 7-8:30 pm. Interested persons are encouraged to contact Peter Magnotta in the Diocesan Office of Life and Family at 401-421-7833, ext. 217 or speak to Fr. Paul Desmarais, pastor of St. Mary's Parish at 401-364-7214.
