Healing the Whole Person is a retreat created by Dr. Bob Schuchts, psychologists and founder of the John Paul II Healing Center, whose mission is transformation in the heart of the church. Healing the Whole Person is the fruit of Dr. Bob’s personal healing journey and his work as a marriage and family therapist for over 30 years. This retreat is for everyone of every age and vocation including Catholics and non-Catholics, married, single, divorced, & widowed, young adults and grandparents, laity, religious, and clergy.
Healing the Whole Person focuses on healing and integration of the mind, soul, and body. Dr. Bob, accompanied by Sister Miriam James Heidland, guides us on inviting the Holy Spirit into the deepest recesses of our interior life where we may have been wounded. With this encounter with Jesus, we allow the healing balm of His presence to repair what was broken and restore us to wholeness. Ultimately, our healing is for the Glory of God.
“Healing is an essential dimension of the apostolic mission and of Christianity. When understood at a sufficiently deep level, this expresses the entire content of redemption.” Pope Benedict XIV, Jesus of Nazareth
“Do you want to be healed?” John 5:6
Come join us at Mary, Queen of Peace Church, as we invite Jesus into the secret and sacred parts of our heart for healing and wholeness, to be who He created us to be. May we let the Lord work in us and echo Mary’s Magnificat “the almighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name!"
We are offering an 8-week series diving into the video series of Healing the Whole Person on Thursdays beginning September 24th. A noontime session and an evening session at 6:30 p.m. is offered to accommodate the schedules of all the members of our church.
