then this page is for you.</p> </blockquote> <p>Rochester Clergy Spouses Network (ROCS Connect) exists to provide opportunities for clergy spouses to get together in a variety of settings to give both informal and more intentional opportunities to share both the joys and sorrows of being married to a clergy person.</p> <p>On this page you will find information on:</p> <p><a

support available</a></p> <h3><br /> <a id="Challenges" name="Challenges"></a>Challenges facing clergy spouses</h3> <p>Many people have spouses whose work impinges on family life - shift workers, those whose work takes them away from home for days or even weeks on end, those whose work is especially physically or emotionally demanding, but being married to a clergy person has particular and peculiar demands all of its own.</p> <ul> <li>Not only is the family home often also a workspace (again, common to many) but there may well be the expectation that it is also a church meeting space, where hospitality is assumed and boundaries with family life can be hard to maintain.</li> <li>There may also be totally unfair or unrealistic expectations of some towards your own involvement in parish life and ministry.</li> <li>We live in an age where the vast majority of clergy spouses have careers of their own, where men and women are being ordained much later in life and so clergy spouses also have very different and varied involvement, if any, in their partner’s ministry.</li> </ul> <p>Inevitably this means that there is also a huge variety of expectations on how the Diocese responds to and connects with those clergy spouses.</p> <p> </p> <h3><a id="Network" name="Network"></a>How the network can support you</h3> <p>If you would like to receive regular email updates about
