Love Heals

Presentations by Sonja Corbitt

Do not waste another day. Stop the pain. Love heals. John Paul the Great said, “Suffering unleashes love,” because we only ever find Jesus and His love in our wounds. Sonja Corbitt has been teaching people how to acknowledge and open their woundedness to God’s love for over 17 years as a leader in the Catholic Church and Scripture teaching space. You may know her as the Catholic Evangelista through her speaking, writing, and podcasting. 

Our Chaplain and Spiritual Directors:

We are grateful to Fr. Mike Jablonski, last year's presenter of our healing retreat and pastor St. Joseph's Church in Dannemora and Church of the Assumption in Redford, to return this year to be our on-site chaplain for the weekend retreat.  

Linda Patnode and Sr. Eamon Lyng, SSJ will also return to offer spiritual direction. Linda will also be part of the healing service on Saturday evening. 

Bishop Terry R. LaValley is scheduled offer Mass for the retreatants on Friday evening.

Music Ministry:

We are blessed to have Mike Couche joining us again to provide music for our retreat. Mike Couche is a Catholic husband and father. He works as an industrial engineer and leads music at Catholic retreats and conferences.

Cost:
We have done our best to keep the costs as affordable as possible. However, the uncertainty of food, fuel and heating costs has necessitated an increase in price for the retreat this year.     

The cost for the retreat this year is $300 per person.  If needed, there is some financial assistance available.   

Arrival and Check in time: 
Check in time for the retreat will be Thursday, October 8 from 6 p.m -7 p.m.    

Meals: 
Please note that the arrival and check-in times are later than in previous years so that retreatants can have dinner before arriving at Wadhams Hall. There will be no dinner on Thursday at the retreat.     

Please note that there will be snacks and refreshments available throughout the entire retreat.    

On Friday and Saturday Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner are included.
On Sunday, Breakfast is included.
