ABOUT RESTORING ME RETREATS

Restoring-Me is a Catholic retreat program of the Diocese of San Bernardino consisting of a series of one-day healing retreats for anyone who has suffered neglect, physical, sexual, emotional, or spiritual abuse. The retreats are focused on the restoration of the dignity and identity of the person, created in the image and likeness of God.

 

The purpose of Restoring-Me retreats is to provide a Catholic faith-based healing environment, centered in Christ, where participants feel welcomed, listened to, accompanied, know that they are not alone, and can share their personal experiences in a safe, sacred, and confidential setting.

​

Our goal is to help participants experience God’s love and presence in their lives through Scripture, prayer, spiritual exercises, reflections, and faith sharing.

​

It is important to understand that although sharing experiences is an important part of the healing process, participants are not obligated to talk about their personal lives or painful experiences. Participants are encouraged to share only what they feel they are ready to share when they are ready to share.

​​

​The team that facilitates the Restoring-Me retreats is formed by trained volunteers with a great compassion for our brothers and sisters living in grief from hurtful abuse experiences.

Restoring-Me retreats are not intended to replace professional mental health services, but to provide peer, spiritual, and pastoral support in each participants’ healing process.
