St. Katharine Drexel hosts speakers, walk to end domestic violence
About 50 people gathered Oct. 8 at St. Katharine Drexel Parish, 9015 S. Harper Ave., to learn about domestic violence, to pray for its end and to advocate for victims of domestic violence.
A harbor in the storm
I did not plan on a career supporting survivors of domestic violence, when I completed my degree in pastoral counseling, but now I could not imagine a more spiritually fulfilling role than the one I have as program director at House of Peace in Waukegan.
Annulments and domestic violence
How are survivors of domestic violence treated by Catholic marriage tribunals, the diocesan courts that determine whether the sacramental bond of a marriage exists or not? Sadly, if domestic violence is involved, the process can be painful.
Shining a light on the issue of domestic violence
Parishioners from St. Bernadette and Queen of Martyrs parishes in Evergreen Park and Christ the King Parish in Chicago joined together Oct. 27 to bring awareness to domestic violence.
Concern for domestic violence victims high during pandemic
After Gov. J.B. Pritzker ordered people to stay at home to fight COVID-19, many expressed concerns about victims of domestic violence, including those who minister to them.
Domestic violence survivors recognized at fourth-annual Mass
The Archdiocese of Chicago celebrated the fourth-annual Mass for victims of domestic violence on Oct. 5, 2019 at Holy Name Cathedral.
Parish ministries working to end domestic violence
Domestic violence is a problem that most priests never address in their homilies, preferring to believe it doesn’t happen in their parishes, according to Dominican Father Charles Dahm. They don’t know what their people know: It happens everywhere, and it affects all kinds of families.
Growing domestic-violence outreach celebrated
One in three women and one in four men in the United States have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner. On a typical day, domestic violence hotlines in the United States receive more than 20,000 calls, an average of close to 15 calls every minute.
The Voice of Catholic Charities
Domestic violence does not discriminate — it has no boundaries. It hides not just in the inner city and far away lands, but in every neighborhood, every income and education level, every racial and ethnic group and every religion. Alarmingly, one in four women and one in seven men will experience domestic violence in their lifetimes. All acts of domestic violence and abuse deteriorate our communities, lead to more violence and take us further away from the people God calls us to be.
