May we keep up some contact with them?

This sounds like shunning, a practice I do not think that the Catholic Church supported. Individual priests or bishops may have advocated it, but not church doctrine.

Did you not read the article? Are you a Catholic?

Thus, it must not be thought that in all cases of invalidly married relatives or friends, Catholics should completely ostracize and avoid them. Saint Paul, in one of the admonitions quoted above, commands Christians not to look upon sinners as enemies, but rather to admonish them as brothers.
