"My husband and I have recently joined a parent support group. When our son opened up to us that he was gay, we felt totally lost and alone, not knowing where to turn for support and guidance. Through the Cleveland Diocesan webpage we learned of the support group. They have been a true blessing of caring people who continue to help us through our difficult journey."
