The Council for Ministry to Divorced and Separated Catholics was established in the Diocese of Tucson. The Council does not encourage divorce, but seeks to heal the pain and suffering that follows a divorce. The Council is composed of representatives who work in programs and support groups for the divorced and separated, with representatives of the North American Conference of Separated and Divorced Catholics, a representative from Catholic Social Services, representatives from the Beginning Experience, several clergy representatives, a representative from the Department of Parish Life and Ministry, and several resource people.

As members of the council, we are concerned about many matters involving the separated and divorced Catholics in the Diocese of Tucson. These concerns include our position as members in good standing in our Church, our spiritual growth as divorced persons, the annulment process, the Christian education and the emotional well-being of our children, and the question of remarriage in the Church.
