Healing the Whole Person Series

Our Healing the Whole Person video series will take place on Thursdays from 7:00 PM -9:00 PM beginning Jan. 26th through March 30th at Holy Family Church and Hall 

Facilitated by Jordan Skiff (skiffjordan@gmail.com/(608) 487-6612) and Sheila Skiff, this will be our second time offering this eight-week video series, offering Biblical and Catholic teaching on the wounds and sins that burden us, and how we can find freedom and healing in Christ.  Feedback from our Spring 2022 offering was very positive, and we hope to reach more parishioners with this teaching. 

Led by Fr. Bob Schuchts and Sr. Miriam James Heidland, the teaching is combined with personal journaling, Confession, intercessory prayer and Adoration to create a space for true healing to occur.  In addition to the eight video sessions we plan to meet for two additional Thursdays for times of prayer, Confession and Stations of the Cross.
