The Archdiocese offers a comprehensive list of Catholic Counselors in the Kansas City area. These counselors have pledged to follow Catholic teachings and encourage their Catholic clients to do the same. Their services are not limited to Catholics. If you’re looking for a safe space to heal or work through a troubling time, this resource is a great place to begin.

This ministry is for separated, divorced and widowed persons. The loss of a loved one through separation, divorce, or death is one of life’s most traumatic experiences. It can result in nearly unbearable feelings of loneliness and grief. Many people who have suffered this loss feel left out by their church, uneasy around married friends, unsure of themselves and uncertain about their futures.

Beginning Experience of Greater Kansas City offers two programs.

Moving Forward with Hope, Coping with Life Alone is a 10-week, online program for persons who have experienced a recent loss.

Weekend is a two-night, in person retreat for those who have completed the Moving Forward program or for those persons whose loss is not so recent.

For more information, including the Zoom invitation link, contact Deacon Ken Billinger at 913-634-4210 or email kbillinger@archkck.org. The group is open to parents who have lost a child or grandparents who have lost a grandchild.
