Infertility is a burden most couples don’t expect to carry. It can affect your marriage, your relationship with family and friends, and your relationship with God. Infertility often feels like a long and lonely path. But you are not alone! As a Catholic infertility ministry, Springs in the Desert is more than just a ministry; it is a place of respite, solidarity, and encouragement – wherever you are on the path of infertility, or in the experience of pregnancy loss. Springs in the Desert has created a community, and it’s built on faith in Christ and His good plan of fruitfulness for each one of us.

Hope and Healing for the Catholic Family! You are not alone. There's no such thing as "Catholic divorce" but the bad news is Catholics do civilly divorce.
Surviving Divorce is there to help and encourage healing through the Sacraments where you'll personally encounter Christ - with all His love and tender mercies. And that's the REALLY good news.
