The Solo Parent Ministry runs Solo Parent Encounters (SPEs).

 

The Solo Parent Encounter is a spiritual renewal program.  It is an encounter/retreat weekend and not a workshop, conducted in an atmosphere of prayerful reflection.

​

Since the ultimate goal of any spiritual encounter is a conversion of heart, a renewal of mind, and transformation of life, the SPE is open to:  Roman Catholics/Christians, all age groups, provided they fit the profile of a solo parent, and all nationalities.

​

PROFILE OF A SOLO PARENT:

1.  Widow or widower

2.  Divorced

3.  Single with child/children (natural or adopted)

4.  Single, 40 years old and over without children

5.  Married but separated from spouse

6.  Married with a spouse who is incapacitated

7.  Married with a spouse working abroad

​

OBJECTIVES:

1.  To know the love of God and His workings in their lives

2.  To receive the Lord's grace and be open to His healing and restoration

3.  To have a fresh awareness of their role in their home, workplace, community, and society

4.  To realize Christ's living presence active in, with, and through the community.

​

PROCESS:

Through prayers and intercessions, and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, there flows a series of:
