🎂 14 years of Gratia Plena 🎂

Today we celebrate 14 years of walking alongside individuals, families, and communities with care, compassion, and hope.

We are deeply grateful — for the clients who have trusted us with their stories, for the clinicians and staff who show up with humility and dedication, and for the community partners who journey with us in this work.

This mission has always been about more than counseling. It is about offering professional care that is faithful to the values and teachings of the Catholic Church, and supporting healing rooted in dignity, truth, and hope.

Thank you for being part of our story. Here’s to the years ahead 🤍

Gratia Plena offers a Men's Group every Saturday morning in our Stafford office, for ending compulsive s*xual behavior. It's been running for over 10 years. We will be starting a separate group for women soon on the same issue. Stay tuned for details on the group for women.

If we truly want to fight s*x trafficking, we need to address p**n as a major driving force behind it. One person trafficked for another's entertainment is one person too many, and it's time we stop pretending like this is a "normal" cost of the industry.

Ready to stop the demand? Say no to p**n and join the fight to end trafficking here: https://buff.ly/qa7gfOQ

Gratia Plena partnered with the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston's Office of Aging Ministry in support of their Resource Fair at St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic Church in Spring on 4/12/2025. We had an informational table and our counselor Kenneth Anicete, LPC-Associate delivered a 15-minute presentation. It is good for us all to value, support, and love the elderly in our families and community.
