As the Church continues to minister to all survivors of abuse, the Archdiocese of Washington is sponsoring retreats for both men and women. This retreat is an occasion for survivors of all forms of abuse (physical, emotional, and/or sexual) to reflect on God's plan for their lives and for healing through prayer and the sacraments.
For more information go to https://adw.org/the-way-retreat/. To register or if you have any questions, please email Deborah McDonald at [email protected].Hope’s Garden is a sanctuary where women encounter the spousal love of Christ the Bridegroom, as embodied by all who serve and minister to them in this safe place.
Our mission is to accompany and guide women on their healing journey, especially those who have suffered spousal and/or familial wounds. Together, with Christ, we will clothe them in His garment of dignity and grace so they might see their true, untainted dignity. As He heals the hearts of women, they will be empowered to share His love and healing with their spouses, children, and in all their relationships. Christ the Bridegroom will heal and transform hearts, marriages, and families; restoring the safety and peace in the domestic church.
