Welcome to the website for Priests with Courage! PWC is an organization to help and support the work of Courage. Also check out the Priests With Courage page on the main Courage website!
PWC is for everyone! However, this website has Roman Catholic priests, seminarians, deacons, and religious brothers in mind. This site is a resource for research about homosexuality (see our extensive links) and a help and support for priests who may be chaplains for Courage, who minister to those who deal with same-sex attractions, or who deal with same sex attractions themselves. Those seeking the latest Church teachings on the issue can find them here, as well other useful articles and essays.
Membership allows for priests, seminarians, deacons, and brothers to enter into a spiritual fraternity and fellowship with others, to share in the spiritual benefits of Masses offered by priests in PWC and Courage, and to share information and resources with one another. One can become a member by clicking on the Contact Us link.
Please be patient!!!
This website is run by one rather busy priest. I am not always available or able to respond to your emails in a timely manner. If you do not hear from me soon, please send me another email. This also applies to those who wish to sign on to the Priests with Courage listserv. If you have requested membership in the recent past and have not heard from me, please request again. I apologize for the inconvenience, and please pray for me! -Contact at Priests with Courage

Recommended Book:
One Man One Woman: A Catholic's Guide to Defending Marriage, by Dale O'Leary. O'Leary offers an easy-to-read text on all the issues around homosexuality, from the psychological origins of same sex attraction to the legal issues around gay marriages and how the sexual left has worked tirelessly to further its own agenda. It is heavily researched and well-written! Well done!
