Start a Small Group
Infertility is an extremely isolating cross that can pose a significant test of faith for Catholics. Springs in the Desert Small Groups are a place for women to grieve infertility and pregnancy loss, acknowledge their pain and suffering, and encounter others who understand and are on the journey with them.
With our Small Group Guides, you can create a space for women to form bonds of friendship in the community, breaking the barriers of isolation and helping them to grow closer to the Lord through this heavy cross. Do you feel called to establish a small group in your diocese or parish? Here’s how it works:
- Order your Facilitator and Participant Guides using our Contact form or emailing info@springsinthedesert.org.
- Complete Facilitator Orientation, which can be scheduled via email after purchase.
- Host your first Small Group session! If you have any questions along the way, the Springs in the Desert team would be happy to consult with you.
