Workshops & Seminars

• The most powerful anti-abortion force is the Catholic hierarchy, which for decades has sought to dismantle abortion care and roll back rights for all people — whether they are Catholic or not.
• Catholics for Choice workshops leverage our unique expertise on religious teaching and reproductive rights to allow groups to thoughtfully engage with the intersection of these two issues.
• Whether you are a committed reproductive justice advocate who is looking to better understand the influence of religion on matters of sexual and reproductive ethics, or you are a Catholic or other person of faith who is trying to untangle the moral complexities around support for abortion access, Catholics for Choice is here to support you through our workshop and other training offerings.

Our workshops work best with a group of 20-30 participants. If you are a group smaller than 10, we recommend reaching out to us to see what we can customize for you.

• We go where we are needed! Catholics for Choice workshops can be conducted virtually or in person anywhere in the world. We also offer hybrid events where the participants meet in person and the facilitators join via video conference.

A CFC workshop will help you:

• More deeply understand the influence that Catholic anti-abortion actors have had on the movement for reproductive rights, and how to talk to people about it.
• Understand there is a different way to think about your Catholic faith and reproductive rights.
• Expand your messaging to be more inclusive of faith and values-based views.
• Support your loved ones in making the decision that is best for them.

Yes, we schedule open-seat workshops for individuals to sign up for and join throughout the year. Please let us know you are interested in joining one by sharing your contact information via the form below and we will be sure to let you know the next opportunity join a virtual workshop.

Our Beyond the Divide: Clarifying Our Values About Abortion workshop provides a full-day retreat-like experience, lasting from 9 to 5 in whichever time zone participants are based.

Our seminars begin at one hour, but can be customized based on your needs.

To make our workshops more accessible we do facilitate them in English and Spanish and use simultaneous interpretation as needed.
