Description
In a Level 1 Catholic Story Group, you’re invited to explore the stories of your life and see how God, the Author of your life, is calling you toward deeper healing, wholeness, and holiness.
Through guided reflection, writing, and group sharing, you’ll begin to:
- Grow in curiosity about how your past has shaped your present.
- Craft your story with honesty and compassion as the Holy Spirit leads.
- Share your story in a safe, sacred space and experience being deeply seen.
- Receive blessing as you discover God’s redemptive work in your life.
You’ll leave with greater self-understanding, deeper attunement to others, and a renewed sense of God’s love shaping every chapter of your life.

Catholic Story Groups are uniquely cultivated environments for you to feel the finest details in your stories of harm as you bring these narratives out of dark and forgotten isolated corners and into a warm and attuned community. All story groups are facilitated by a trained professional in a group context and a seamless learning environment. Our story groups are deeply informed by our Catholic faith, so you can expect your experience to include inspiring prayer and adherence to the authentic Catholic Tradition.
Disclaimer: Participating in a Catholic Story Group is not therapy or counseling. Each session is designed to help attendees own and process their story more fully so they may more deeply understand the story that God is writing in their lives. During the 9-week time period, each participant is asked to write a story from their early childhood or adolescent experience and share it with the group. The writing and sharing of our story can involve emotional, psychological, and physical discomfort. This is normal. It is one of the purposes of the group: to provide a supportive context that invites each attendee to identify and begin to explore difficult issues that may have inhibited their ability to connect with God, others, and their own self. The purpose of the facilitator is to create an environment of psychological safety, authenticity, and guidelines for strict confidentiality (nothing is shared or published outside of the group). The facilitator will also model how to attune and respond to one another’s stories and provide guidance for how to relational repair when misattunement occurs.
