Healing the Whole Parish Retreat

Healing the Whole Parish Retreat

Everyone has experience wounds in their life. This is your opportunity to get real with God.  Open your wounds in a safe environment and allow the healing love of Jesus to enter those areas of your life. This retreat is designed for you to encounter the healing love of Jesus and begin the process of healing.  The retreat is for adults and older teens. Because of the nature of the retreat, teens under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian for the entire retreat.
