Life-Giving Wounds A Healing Retreat for Adult Children of Divorce or Separation 
April 29 - May 1, 2022 
St. Francis Retreat Center in DeWitt, MI  



  The Life-Giving Wounds retreat is a three-day retreat for young adults and adults with divorced or separated parents. This retreat invites participants to move through the broken image of love that appeared to them in their parents’ relationship to their deepest identity found in God. The retreat gives participants a greater understanding of the wounds of divorce and the ways it affects their lives, offers advice about the difficulties concerning love and  trust of others, and explains how the Catholic faith, spiritual practices, and the Sacraments are essential to self knowledge and healing. 

This retreat has something for any adult child of divorce or separation, no matter how much healing you have already received or need. Co-sponsored by the Diocese of Grand Rapids, the retreat begins on April 29 at 7 p.m. and ends on May 1 at 3:30 p.m. Cost per individual is $225, which includes all meals, overnight lodging, and all materials for the weekend. Space is limited. Must be 18 or older to attend.
