Other FORM 990-EZ, PART III, LINE 28 - STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS COUNSELING - The mission and purpose of Catholic Life Ministries NW includes helping people succeed in their primary relationships: with spouse / partner, child(ren), extended family, and close friends, the people with whom we experience our greatest joys and deepest sorrows. When there is conflict in these relationships, the persons involved may be too close to the problem to solve it without help. In marriage and family therapy, clients can be helped to: 1) Stop the negative interactions. 2) Listen to one another for understanding. 3) Build more effective communication skills. 4) Restore love and friendship. 5) Build a new way of being together as a couple, family, or friends. Though not all relationships can or should be preserved, our organization believes that most relationships, with hard work and guidance, can and should succeed. Even in relationships that have experienced great trauma, there can be healing; there can be restoration to peaceful, life-giving relationships. This restoration of primary relationships is positive for couples, families, and the larger community. When a relationship(s) cannot be restored, counseling can also serve to ease the path of break-up / separation and moving on with life.

We did some events through online platforms and some events in person, following health safety protocols. We sponsored a parish event - Present Your Children to God Day, involving the children and youth of the parish. There was an essay contest for young people who wrote on Care for the Earth, in honor of Pope Franciss encyclical Laudato Si - 132 attendees. One online class was offered in the Spring - Fire on the Earth - 17 participants. We had two in-person retreats: Spring - Come Into the Heart of God - 21 participants; Fall - Celebrating 10 Years of Pope Francis - 21 participants. Monthly, we held evenings of reflection with prayer and Scripture in a hybrid format, averaging 10 - 12 participants. CLM sponsors an annual family service camp, Camp St Francis, in which adults and children serve in the community, volunteering with community agencies to do yard work, cleaning, painting, and home repair for the elderly and disabled. In the summer, we did extensive yard clearing / clean-ups for two families, elderly and disabled folks living independently in their own homes. We assembled and distributed Friendship Bags to people in need. These bags include new socks, non-perishable snacks, face masks, hygiene items, a list of local resources for food, medical and mental health care, and housing, and a short prayer.
