For Individuals

Trauma can impact us in many different ways, and the journey towards healing and restoration can be long and difficult.
At Tria Corda Ministry, we aim to help you know that you do not walk this journey alone. We seek to provide you with resources and encouragement on the healing journey.
How do we do this?
Through our free content, Tria Corda Ministry will:
- Teach you how to build resilience, an ability that helps us better carry our crosses and bounce back after facing adversity.
- Provide you with lists of Catholic healing resources that could be helpful on your journey.
- Teach you about saints who also faced trauma so that you can learn from them and find some intercessors to walk with you on this journey.
We will also surround you with prayer. We pray for all visitors to our website for all prayer requests submitted on the website.
The Lord wants to heal and restore you, and we pray for His guidance as you walk this journey. Know that you do not walk alone.
