Recovering Origins: A Unique Healing Retreat for Adult Children of Divorce

Recovering Origins is a three day retreat at the Saint John Paul II National Shrine that invites participants to move through the broken image of love that appeared to them in their parents’ divorce to their deepest origin and identity as God’s beloved. The retreat gives participants a greater understanding of the wound of divorce and the ways it affects their lives, offers advice about the difficulties concerning love and trust of others, and explains how the Catholic faith, spiritual practices, and the Sacraments are essential to self-knowledge and healing. The retreat begins on Friday, May 1^st at 6:30 P.M. and ends on Sunday, May 3^rd at 3:30 P.M. Cost per individual is $75 (includes several meals) and space is limited. Scholarships are available upon request. Please note that the retreat neither includes nor requires overnight lodging, but lodging in the area is available on a first-come, first-serve basis for those who would like to purchase it. To register or to request more information please email Daniel Meola at Daniel.Meola@jp2shrine.org.

        My dream is that this retreat will be offered 2-3 times a year or more if needed at the Shrine. I pray we can really start healing the wounds of the culture through this retreat. Please keep it in your prayers.

        If you have any questions about the retreat, then please don't hesitate to email me. Thank you.
