You Are Not Alone is a Ministry of Our Lady of Fatima Retreat House that offers Hope and Healing for Survivors of Suicide Loss.

Suicide has become so prevalent in today's world, and especially in our local faith community. It's the 2nd leading cause of death in Indiana for ages 15-34, which impacts so many loved ones. We are addressing the emotional, spiritual, and healing journey after suicide loss through this series of programs for loss survivors, including a retreat. These presentations are geared towards adults, however, teens 15 years old & above may attend with a parent or guardian.
