If your loved one was served by Hope Hospice, there is no fee for counseling.

For community clients seeking counseling, we offer a sliding fee scale based upon your current financial situation and need. Fees are decided and agreed upon during the intake interview and may be adjusted whenever there is a significant change in income or financial status.

There is no fee for intake interviews.

In group therapy, a client is paired with other clients that are experiencing similar issues and guided through productively discussing what they are going through in a safe, supportive, and confidential environment.

Though every client involved in the group may be at different stages of their treatment process, discussing shared experience and having others to relate to can greatly relieve feelings of isolation or disconnection.

With time, clients can learn to find validation in the balance between their own and others’ experiences and develop coping skills to maintain a healthy and stable life.

An FBC outreach ministry to students in a local elementary school.

Each year, FBC members have given faithfully to more than 150 economically disadvantaged students who are affiliated with a local elementary school.  These gifts are not just a blessing but an expression and demonstration of God’s love through our church.  God’s love was demonstrated by God sending the ultimate gift of His son, Jesus, into and for the world.  Volunteers are needed each year to purchase the gifts, serve at the Angel Tree party, and help with distribution.

What will people be doing?  Gift-giving, outreach, and community service.

Being a mom is challenging and sometimes a lonely job. Here at MOPS, we gather together and support moms of preschoolers. We believe in the simple but revolutionary idea that remarkable things happen the moms come together. If you are a mom of a preschooler (pregnancy through Kindergarten) and you need some “grown up” time, then we have the place for you!

If you are a mom of a school-aged child (1st–12th Grade), MOMSNext is for you! As moms, and their kids, enter the school year, new challenges and issues arise, but the need for community and support are the same.

At Boerne MOPS we…

• Prayer & Devotional time
• Quality curriculum based childcare while we meet
• HOT Coffee & Breakfast
• Speakers & videos to learn from and give you parenting help
• Small groups to make deep connections and friendships with other moms
• Crafts and fun activities for all skill levels

Both groups meet at the same time and the same place, but have separate small group discussion groups. You find an open, accepting place for all moms to experience authentic friendships, personal growth, practical help, and spiritual hope!

Closed meetings are for A.A. members only, or for those who have a drinking problem and “have a desire to stop drinking.”

Sts. Peter and Paul parish realizes that the death of a loved one is a very challenging time.  Members of the Bereavement Committee unite  in assisting the family during this time of need.

Volunteers respond immediately when notified of a death and are willing to provide assistance with the funeral reception or any other arrangements, if requested.

Our Bereavement Committee coordinates with the family to ensure that food is prepared and is ready to be served to the family and guests following a funeral.

Some members of this ministry assist with the preparation of baked goods or sandwiches at home, while others come to the parish and set up facilities for the reception and serve those who attend.

Follow-up calls may be made to family members for several months following a death.

If you need the services of this ministry or if you would like to volunteer to join this ministry, contact Merlene Peters 830-625-0345 or Carol Friemuth 830-625-6530.

This ministry was established to create a support group for cancer survivors and their caregivers.

We have expanded to include all people with serious or chronic illnesses and their caregivers and loved ones. It is a place where we can all come together to be encouraged and inspired as well as to encourage and inspire others.

Many of the people in this parish and our community have had, currently have, or will have to face a diagnosis of a serious illness or disability. We would like to offer encouragement and support to people who face these struggles. You do not have to be Catholic to join this support group; it is a community outreach ministry.
 
If you are a patient currently undergoing treatment, join us.  We are in constant prayer on your behalf. We offer you encouragement, wisdom and a hand to hold onto. We’ve been in your shoes; we can be a light in the darkness for you.
 
If you are a survivor, join us. We need your wisdom, compassion and experience to help others. It is said that God can take something bad and turn it into something beautiful. Take your experiences and turn them into something beautiful to give glory to God.
 
If you are a caregiver or loved one for a patient, join us. We understand having a serious or chronic illness is an arduous journey and the patient does not take that journey alone. We want to encourage and support you as well.

Led by the Knights of Columbus, some members of the Catholic parishes in New Braunfels have united for this active Prison Ministry. These dedicated members of Christ's family make weekly visits to inmates in our jails and prisons to bring the word of God to them.

Members of this ministry meet with all inmates, regardless of their religious affiliation, who are interested in learning more about God's love and mercy for them.

You can be a very important part of this ministry by remembering in your prayers all who are a part of this team and all inmates who are taking advantage of this opportunity to draw nearer to our Lord and follow His ways.

There are additional ways to be involved in this ministry. The team welcomes prayer cards, rosaries, and Bibles. All of these items are distributed to those who attend the services.

To learn more, contact Ken Bates 830-643-0775.

The Catalyst is a holistic therapeutic program dedicated to providing all Military Women with the Tools; Techniques; Personal and Professional Strategies needed for building fulfilling and successful Military/post-military/civilian lives.

The Catalyst program examines the traumatic event and subsequent development of post-traumatic stress disorder. We learn to recognize the underlying emotional pain that fuels specific behaviors. We begin the process of healing these emotions through a combination of clinical therapy, holistic approaches, and experiential modalities. We understand that trauma and PTSD treatment is visceral, sensory, and cellular. Our team focuses on building trust, creating a safe environment, and steps towards recovery with the involvement of the family or caregiver. Our team is specifically trained in handling participants who suffer from trauma and PTSD.

The complexity of PTSD and existence of additional symptoms calls for special resources, a variety of treatment options, frequent monitoring, and support offered by The Catalyst program. We provide these services to ensure you receive the best treatment possible in a warm, nurturing environment. A therapeutic retreat program such as The Catalyst is one of the most effective forms of intervention available, as it allows you the opportunity to work through your problems while leaving the stress of your environment to focus on what truly matters : RECOVERY.
