About Solo Persons Ministry
The Solo Persons Ministry provides a supportive community for solo parents and individuals, offering spiritual nourishment, fellowship, and practical support as we journey together in faith.
Our Vision
We are a community of solo parents and persons celebrating our dignity and wholeness in Christ. We encounter the incarnate Christ in one another by freely and fully committing to grow in a loving relationship with God, our family, and community—renewed and strengthened by the Holy Spirit. We are called to proclaim our faith and witness to the power of the cross and the resurrection of Christ, rooted in His Word, nourished by His teachings and Sacraments, and cultivated by our service to God and fellowship with our neighbors.
