The Sanctuary Course
St. John Neumann Parish will be offering the Sanctuary Course for Catholics. The purpose of the course is to raise awareness and start conversations in local parishes regarding mental health. The course is not a therapy class. It is solely educational in design while it also uniquely includes faith and healing in its content. The classes are presented in a safe and non-threatening environment with opportunities for discussions.
