The Archdiocese of Indianapolis offers several opportunities for couples and individuals going through separation and divorce. The titles contain links to the various ministries to support you.
And Nativity, too, would like to support you during this time. The Christian life is enriched with accompaniment and trust, and we would like to support you during this tough period of your life. If you'd like to sit down with Fr. Eric or our Deacon, please contact our main office at 317-357-1200.
The Third Option is an on-going skills based group program to build better marriages.
It is designed for all married couples and can be used both as marriage enrichment or crisis intervention. For hurting couples, who see only two options painful endurance or divorce, The Third Option means reconciliation. Couples may attend a single session or all sessions, even if the series has already started. The group meets in person in Carmel, IN or couples can join virtually on Zoom. This ministry is open to couples in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana. For more information, visit http://carmelthirdoption.org/web/
