Family Retreat
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.” ~ Corinthians 13:4
A weekend family retreat for families to profit in spiritual growth, family strengthening & healing mercy of Jesus Christ
Come and join us in this sprit strengthening and family healing retreat. A retreat to surrender unto the Lord any sicknesses, struggles and disturbances that you may facing in your family right now.
This brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and now is found ~ Luke 15:31
As the prodigal son returned, his father in unceasing joy ran to him and dressed his returned son in a new robe, ring, and sandals. What a beautiful vision of fatherly love toward his lost son. Most families at some point will reach some kind of crisis, especially in this day and age, when children are confused, struggling, and highly influenced in a world that has so much to offer. As parents, you desire the best for your children and your family, but it does not come easy. Our retreat is faith- designed to spiritually build families in purified love, to open hearts of patience and forgiveness, and to provide healing to the prodigal children of God.
“Lord, Bless the house that blesses your Holy Name”
Our Family retreat focuses on the fundamental role of each member of the family, in accordance with the Holy word of God. Understanding and learning the importance of each one’s role being a father, mother, or child, and through the healing of past errors, your family life will begin to flourish with hope, clarity, and joy in the Lord. This retreat for families has proven to heal by the many testimonials received of physical, mental, and spiritual healing encounters during our Eucharistic & Healing Masses. Christ knows all of your family’s deepest wounds, pains, and frailty. He invites your surrender so that you may receive the healing, graces strengthening so that you may all live in complete fulfillment of family life.
