Absolutely not! We all deeply desire that you experience hope and are able to embrace the mercy of God.

Yes, there will be priests available for confession. The priests who assist on the Days of Prayer and Healing have a heart for this mission. They are sensitive to the fear and pain you may be experiencing and simply wish to be instruments of God’s mercy. If it has been a long time since you have been to confession and have forgotten how to do so, do not fear. The priest will assist you and guide you through confession.  Saint Pope John Paul II spoke to women who have had abortions and encouraged them, “If you have not already done so, give yourselves over with humility and trust to repentance. The Father of mercies is ready to give you his forgiveness and his peace in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.” (The Gospel of Life, #99)

God’s mercy is infinite, and He never tires of forgiving us. Jesus said to St. Faustina, “The greater the sinner the greater right he has to my mercy.” We stake our lives on the truth that God is merciful. He is a loving Father who never rejects anyone who comes to Him.

Yes! All are welcome.

Yes, you have cause for great hope! God can do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine.  The journey of healing normally takes time. Attending a Day of Prayer and Healing or another retreat is an opportunity to experience deeper healing. Retreats often allow the space and opportunity for profound encounters with God’s mercy.

The day is completely confidential. We do not discuss the day outside of the gathering. We ask all who participate to honor this confidentiality. It is a very safe and healing environment.

Peace often comes in surrendering ourselves to God’s loving care. God desires for us to experience His mercy and forgiveness. Through confession and the retreat program, it is our hope that you will find the peace you have sought.  “A contrite, humbled heart, O God, you will not scorn.” (Psalm 51:19)

It is completely normal and healthy to feel deeply, to cry, and to show emotions in the context of the Day of Prayer and Healing.  The days are designed so that you will feel safe and free to show emotions. You may want to speak to a Sister about this when you register.

There are no fees, and lunch and refreshments are provided.

The day begins at 9:30 a.m. and concludes at 5:30 p.m.  Since the days are hosted at different locations, the Sister will let you know the location for the date you would like to attend.

That is completely fine. There is no pressure to speak. There is much to be gained by being part of a group and listening to others.

Every journey of healing is as unique as each individual soul. The Sisters are able to help each woman discern and discover a plan for healing. The Sisters are also available to meet individually with women or to speak over the phone on a regular basis.

Yes, we also host monthly gatherings and other special events and opportunities. We are also available for regular follow-up phone calls and meetings.
