GraceBook
Not open yet

We are not open yet.

GraceBook will connect Catholics with priests, religious, and trained lay mentors. It is still being built — no sessions can be booked, and no mentor is listed yet.

Before it opens, the platform has to work and the arrangements behind it have to be reviewed by the Church. We would rather not name a date we cannot keep.

If you are looking for direction

We will write when it opens.

Confirm your address and we will write the day we open. We may send something occasionally before then — never often, and never to anyone but you.

Never shared with anyone. Every message carries a link to remove your address for good.

If you offer spiritual mentorship

Apply now, and be ready on the first day.

We ask for one thing: your signature on the Mentor Agreement, at the end of the application. No letter to fetch from anybody. Nothing else.

Apply to become a mentor

A person reads every application.

This is not a crisis service. If you need help now, contact your parish or your local emergency services.
