Finding Healing Through The Power of Prayer
This workshop will examine
how illness, trauma and human brokenness can find meaning and
transformation through our personal and intimate relationship with God.
We will explore creative modalities of "praying with pain and suffering"
by allowing them to find their expression in personal prayer, music,
art, poetry, exercise, dance etc. We will talk about how suffering can
be redemptive, when endured in the context of Faith, Hope and Love.
Michael Soentgerath is originally from the diocese of
Cologne, Germany. In 1977 he started his theological training with the
Society of the Catholic Apostolate in Germany. He went on to continue
studies in philosophy and theology at the University of Waterloo and
Newman College in Edmonton and completed his studies at the Theological
College of the Pallottine Fathers, in 1984 in Germany.

The
Healing Gift Of Presence
As followers of Jesus, we engage the opportunity to give the "gift of presence" at every turn
along life’s journey. This gift enables new life to emerge as the life
of Christ manifests itself in our relationships. Often, this is
where much needed healing begins! |
