Our ministry provides information about resources available to victims of domestic violence. This includes shelters, legal support, counseling, and more. We work closely with organizations like Between Friends, Connections for Abused Women & Children, and the 20th District Police DV Subcommittee. We also support community outreach initiatives to benefit victims of domestic violence.

We meet on the 3rd Tuesday of even numbered months at 6:30 PM in the St. Ita Rectory (1220 W. Catalpa). If you are interested in learning more about the group and/or attending the meeting, contact Betsy Covell with any questions. We would love to have you join our ministry!
