The support group meets every week on Tuesday nights, and the meetings last for an hour.

Encourage is a spiritual support group for family members and friends of loved ones who have same-sex inclinations. It also welcomes anyone who wants more information on the pastoral care of homosexuals. The meetings occur every two months at the Catholic Center.
