Infertility Support

Infertility is defined as 6 months to 1 year or more of trying to conceive unsuccessfully or multiple miscarriages.  Troubles conceiving again after the birth of a child is called secondary infertility.  Infertility impacts 10-15% of couples in the United States and can be temporary or permanent.  

Catholics have a responsibility to learn the Church's teaching on reproductive technology and the prohibition of IVF.  Catholics are not prohibited from ALL help with infertility, tracking of cycles (NFP) is encouraged, and medication or corrective surgery when needed is acceptable. You can learn more about what the Catholic Church teaches on reproductive technology by visiting the USCCB website

The Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston is proud to sponsor the infertility group, Springs in the Desert, who is dedicated in accompanying couples and supporting them as they navigate seasons of infertility and pregnancy loss.
