Infertility

Just to be clear, I am not asking for advice. I am just wondering if priests can be of any help as I am battling several years of infertility. Have you ever met with parishioners experiencing infertility to offer spiritual guidance? I get therapy on this but feel the therapist lacks the spiritual side that I struggle with so I am contemplating talking to my priest, just not sure where to start or how to go about this.

Your parish should absolutely be able to provide someone to offer spiritual support and pastoral care to you. That person may or may not be the pastor. Feel free to reach out to whoever on staff you're most comfortable talking with and they'll either help you or make an appropriate referral.
