Rachel's Vineyard Healing Retreats offer the gift of healing from a past abortion through a weekend experience, as participants gather to pray, share spiritual experiences focusing on God's forgiveness, compassion and mercy. Psychological exercises help men and women work through expressed grief and anger, and rituals help individuals grieve the loss of their unborn child. The Retreat is strictly private. The next Retreat in our diocese will be held in English - November 1-3, and in Spanish - November 8-10. To register for a local retreat contact Joetta Dawson: [email protected] or 516-457-2838. For Spanish contact Mabeline Burgos: [email protected] or 413-219-2573.
