Surviving Divorce

Rose Sweet is a sparkling personality with a passion to help people “put their religion into their relationships.” Having suffered early on through multiple divorces, Rose began a furious search for the truth of her heart’s deepest aches and discovered the riches of the Theology of the Body (TOB). She’s since been a pioneer in national divorce healing ministry, has appeared on Catholic radio and TV, and is the creator of Ascension’s Surviving Divorce, a 12-video parish program. With 30+ years of experience, she was the only speaker on divorce, remarriage, and annulment at the 2015 World Meeting of Families.

In the last twenty years, Rose has expanded her work to include parish missions, coaching groups and individuals in the interior life, as well as writing more than fourteen books to help others heal and strengthen their relationships. Rose is a respected speaker who has presented at the 2014 and 2016 Theology of the Body Congresses, the 2017 USCCB Convocation of Catholic Leaders, and the 2020 and 2021 TOB Virtual Conferences.

Rose lives in the Southern California desert with her husband, Bob, and a growing collection of cacti.
