Event: Restore, Women’s Healing Retreat
Restore: return to its original condition; return what was lost, stolen, or taken away.
God longs for us to believe that we indeed are who He says we are: His beloved daughters, carefully created, infinitely loved and valued beyond measure. Yet, here amidst the din of distortion, lie-based beliefs and the darkening caused by sin and trauma, we struggle to experience the Truth of who we are. Our pain and woundedness distort the lens through which we look at ourselves, others and the circumstances of our lives. Come…and let Him Restore you! Retreat also includes: small groups, individual healing prayer, Mass and Adoration.
Retreat Leaders: Father Allen Hoffa of the Allentown Diocese, De Yarrison of You Are Made New Ministry and Laura Ercolino of Hope’s Garden.
Location: Shrine of St. Therese of Lisieux, Nesquehonig PA.
