Our Mission
Our ministry was founded by Debbie Pryor and Vanessa Keck as a way to bring others closer to their Catholic faith. Through the years it has evolved into a ministry of healing and reconciliation. They, along with the help of over twenty community members, hold monthly retreats that strive to inform and engage retreatants in the faith of the Catholic Church. More importantly, they bring people closer to our Lord and our Blessed Mother through the Holy Mass, Adoration and prayer. Healing services led by the many gifted priests we are blessed to host bring peace, healing and reconciliation to many. Individuals are able to meet with prayer teams for private prayer.
Join us in this holy place where you can “come away and rest awhile”. Relax and encounter our Lady and our Lord and be refreshed.
