Infertility is a burden most couples don’t expect to carry. It can affect your marriage, your relationship with family and friends, and your relationship with God. Infertility often feels like a long and lonely path. But you are not alone! As a Catholic infertility ministry, Springs in the Desert is more than just a ministry; it is a place of respite, solidarity, and encouragement – wherever you are on the path of infertility, or in the experience of pregnancy loss. -
