Marriage and Family Resources

There are so many Catholic resources out there for pre-marriage, marriage, and families (your family begins the moment you get married)! This is definitely going to be a constant work in progress. As the list grows, we pray that you won’t be intimidated by it all, as we once were by how much is out there. See it as a blessing! Our faith has such a rich depository to choose from that can speak to each of our unique circumstances, needs, and seasons. So don’t feel like you have to be involved in everything here to have a fruitful journey! We are firm believers that when you’re heart is open to the journey, God will lead you to what will help you each step of the way. For us personally, we find ourselves diving into different prayers and resources depending on our season.

If you have any resources, prayers, devotions, etc. that you’d like to share, we’d love to post it here!

Send us your Catholic resources!

Dr. Lauren Rubal - Integrative Fertility Physician

We came to know of this amazing Christian physician through a recent podcast (below) with Lila Rose about the truth about IVF and fertility as a whole. Once a conventional fertility doctor, Dr. Rubal now advocates and provides services for integrative fertility to administer to issues such as infertility after experiencing and realizing the gravity of the physical, emotional and spiritual impacts and consequences of conventional fertility ‘troubleshooting’ methods.

Al-Anon Family Groups

As I make my way through therapy through CatholicPsych, I one day shared with my husband how I wish there was therapy for loved ones who go through therapy. Well, there is a program that understood the concerns, pains, and support needs of friends and family who have loved ones that suffer, specifically with alcoholism. On an amazing recent Pints with Aquinas episode with Breanne Demarco, Breanne shares the importance of this program and the visible positive impacts Al-Anon had on one of the mother’s of a close friend and addict that relapsed and recently passed away.

An amazing nonprofit that is pulling together independent U.S.-based Catholic healthcare providers - anything from family physicians to wellness coaches to internal medicine physicians to dermatologist and more! Serving people of all faiths, MyCatholicDoctor is a virtual hospital that helps make healthcare accessible and affordable through telehealth, giving providers the space to be able to ‘practice independently and with the full voice of their faith.’

Rachel’s Vineyard

Beautifully stated by the ministry itself, this healing ministry is “a safe place to renew, rebuild and redeem hearts broken by abortion.” I’d encourage you to watch the testimony and story of a good friend of TLT below to hear some of the hard truths and shocking things about abortion that are not broadcasted in the media, but are important to know in understanding the importance of a ministry like Rachel’s Vineyard and our collective prayers and action as the Domestic Church in the fight for life.

Reclaim Sexual Health

Talk about the redemptive and healing love of God! This program was developed by a Catholic couple, whose marriage was deeply challenged by the husband’s addiction to pornography. The wife was one day led to a recovery program for pornography addiction based on brain research performed at Harvard. All previous methods of recovery failed and they finally understood why, as his addiction had essentially rewired his brain. They now have a program of their own. How amazing God is to take our darkest storms, our struggles with evil, and use them for good, to help others suffering in the same way.

KNOWN

We learned about this program by listening to an interview (below) of these two amazing Catholic therapists, on a faith-filled mission to bring healing and peace through mending our relationships with God the Father. They recognized that often our relationship with God the Father is distant and not secure - that it’s hard for us to truly feel the loving, caring, and compassion of God the Father. The most common reasons? Because of a lack of healthy relationships, where we can actually “feel that we are self-assured when all is going well and that we are supported, protected, and loved in times of distress” and/or we have endured painful experiences that have shaped how we related to others.

Magdala Ministries

A bold Catholic ministry that fills in a much overlooked gap, of creating a safe space to accompany women who struggle with sexual additions (pornography, masturbation, and other sexual addictions) through journeys to ultimately help them find hope, healing, and freedom.

Catholic Psych Institute

Our mental health plays such a vital role in being able to live the life that God desires for us. CPI offers a new method of treatment called Integrated Daily Dialogue Mentorship (IDDM) that brings together Catholic anthropology and psychological science, to go beyond the conventional therapy most familiar to us.
