Introducing BELOVED:
A Ministry of Presence, Prayer, and Pastoral Care
At Catholic Noles, our mission is to lead students to discover and deepen their relationship with Jesus and His Church through the Sacraments, authentic community, and faithful formation. With this mission as our foundation, we’re excited to introduce BELOVED—a new pastoral outreach program rooted in our call to meet students right where they are.
​
BELOVED brings together students who identify as LGBTQ+ or are wrestling with questions of identity and faith—often alone. This ministry offers a space of welcome, where students can experience the love of Christ and the support of the Church in a community committed to faith, love, mercy, and spiritual growth.
​
College is a time of exploration. That’s why we are being intentional about providing thoughtful, faithful resources to help all students navigate their journeys with confidence. BELOVED exists to affirm each student’s dignity as a beloved child of God while inviting them to encounter Christ more fully and live out their Catholic faith with integrity and love.
Through prayer, listening, reflection, and community, BELOVED opens wide the doors of the Church to students who may otherwise feel unseen or unsure of their place. It’s one part of our larger mission to reach every corner of campus and ensure that all students—no matter where they are in life or faith—know they belong.
​
Please keep this new ministry in your prayers. With your support, students take comfort in the Gospel, find clarity in the Church, and become ready to fearlessly build a world shaped by compassion and love.
