In a confidential setting, greatly diverse people mentor and are mentored in the sometimes difficult path of faithfulness to Jesus Christ and his way of life.Through honesty, accountability, friendly encouragement, mutual prayerful support and commonly held goals, FIA provides a safe and healthy environment to grow in holiness, hope and virtue.FIA’s five goals are:1) to live chaste lives as in accordance with the Roman Catholic Church’s teachings on homosexuality;2) to dedicate one’s life to Christ through prayer, sacraments and service;3) to foster a spirit of fellowship, sharing thoughts and experiences, so that no one will have to be alone in facing the unique problems associated with having same-sex attraction;4) to encourage one another in forming and sustaining chaste friendships; and5) to serve as good examples to others.Making a differenceThe FIA program helps each person take the best step forward from his or her own individual and unique starting point
