The Archdiocese of Milwaukee's Office of Evangelization & Catechesis (formerly known as the John Paul II Center) has invited the John Paul II Healing Center to present Healing the Whole Person as an offering of our Galilee U. 

The John Paul II Healing Center retreat team who will be with us for our Healing the Whole Person includes Dr. Bob Schuchts, author of Be Healed and Sr. Miriam James Heidland, SOLT, and Bart Schuchts Founder of Church on Fire. For more info on the John Paul II Healing Center and their team, see http://jpiihealingcenter.org

The Lord Jesus Christ, physician of our souls and bodies, who forgave the sins of the paralytic and restored him to bodily health, has willed that his Church continue, in the power of the Holy Spirit, his work of healing and salvation, even among her own members.
– Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1421

Healing is an essential dimension of the apostolic mission and of Christianity.
– Pope Benedict, Jesus of Nazareth 

As disciples of the Lord Jesus, who is the physici an of our souls and bodies, we are called to continue His work, work of healing and salvation in a physical, social and spiritual sense.”
– Pope Francis, General Audience, August 5, 2020

The Archdiocesan Office of Evangelization & Catechesis and the John Paul II Healing Center are fully committed to faithfulness to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.

Healing the Whole Person is for those who desire healing, or to help others receive healing, within the Catholic Church. Past participants who have found Healing the Whole Person especially impactful include: those who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, anger, addiction, illness, or patterns of sin they can't seem to break, and those who wish to better accompany or minister to others who do.

While we've brought Healing the Whole Person to Milwaukee for the deepening formation of our GalileeU participants, it is open to everyone.

For anyone who has lived with the struggles mentioned above, it can be difficult to imagine a life of freedom and peace. Participants in Healing the Whole Person will come to understand the wounds at the root of the struggles and how to bring those wounds to the Lord to receive the insight, healing, and freedom He wishes to give, especially through the sacraments and prayer.

No.

Each session begins with an opening prayer and some music, followed by teaching from a speaker, quiet time for personal reflection and prayer, and a simple shared prayer experience as a large group. 

Any sharing is purely voluntary. While you may choose to discuss your personal experience with a priest, retreat team member, or someone you came with, small group discussion is not a formal part of the retreat.

• Sound teaching from the Roman Catholic tradition delivered live (not pre-recorded) by Dr. Bob Schuchts and Sr. Miriam James Heidland, and Bart Schuchts
• a supportive community of people (including some who are discouraged or doubting) who desire to understand and receive Christ’s healing, 
• private journaling activities for application of teaching and prayer, 
• communal prayer for healing, 
• opportunity to receive the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist, 
• privacy and compassion – no one will expect you to share about personal struggles you may be facing.

It is a three day event and sessions build upon each other. We recommend giving yourself extra time to park, check-in at registration, and be seated before the Program begins each day.
