Fill out the form below to be matched with a friend within our diocese who is going through the same thing.

We want to help you find support and friendship with others who understand. Let us know a little more about you and we’ll pair you with someone going through something similar. Our hope is that you will be able to share your stories and find comfort and support in each other. Ideally, you will commit to praying for one another regularly and connecting with one another once a month either with a quick text or a coffee date.

We’ll do our best to match people based on stage of life and type of infertility, and we will only pair people of the same sex, unless you choose to be paired together as a couple.

Your information will only be shared with the Abiding in Hope team and who you are paired with. 

Here’s what we ask from you if you would like to be matched with someone:

• Have been dealing with infertility for at least six months or have received a diagnosis that makes it difficult to conceive
• Once you are matched with someone, check in with your friend monthly – this could be grabbing coffee together or something as simple as a text to check in and see how they’re doing or asking for prayer requests. We will try(!) to send out monthly prompts to help with conversation
• Be committed to praying for your friend regularly
• Uphold the teachings of the Catholic church with regard to infertility (not to shame someone if they have gone against church teachings but to encourage one another in how our Faith instructs us to live)
• Be committed to congratulate and be happy for your friend if they conceive, even if it’s difficult. If one friend does conceive (we hope everyone does!) we would love for you to continue meeting with them but you may ask for a new friend if it is too hard
