DivorcedCatholic.com is the culmination of 20 years combined personal and professional experience in dealing with divorce issues and how they relate to Catholics.
On August 15, 2007, on the feast of the Assumption of Our Lady, DivorcedCatholic.com was born as Vince and Lisa joined forces with the desire of reaching the millions of men and women suffering through divorce and offering them answers to their questions, hope for true healing and a joyful future.
