Seeds of Healing through Faith, Hope, and Love
Join us for our 3rd annual Seeds of Healing retreat at Marianist Retreat & Conference Center on Saturday, January 17, 2026, from 9am–6pm.This wonderful event is designed to bring God’s healing grace to those who have lost loved ones unexpectedly: suicide, sudden, tragic, or unforeseen death.
Though the roller coaster of emotions experienced through tragedy can be enough to make one doubt God’s presence, this day of reflection is designed to help in the journey through these emotions and come out renewed with confidence in God’s love and care for each one of us.
Members of our ministry team for this day will include a variety of gifted individuals:
-
Gerard Fleming, St. Joseph Cottleville and author of “Embracing the Heart of Christ”
-
Judy Reel, All Saints, St Peters
-
Diane Meyer, St Patrick’s, Wentzville
-
Sue Vana, Murphysboro, IL and author of “Shaken by God’s Love”
- And More!
Attendance will be limited to 100 participants total for Saturday, which will run from 9 am -6 pm and will include lunch and dinner for $68.
We are also offering the option for up to 40 participants to spend the night and to stay through 10 am on Sunday; those who choose to spend the night will have additional time for rest, fellowship, snacks, a private room and breakfast on Sunday morning. The cost of the overnight experience is $162.
We expect to sell out, so please register early. We look forward to spending this beautiful time of healing with you! We look forward to seeing you at the Marianist Retreat & Conference Center and spending this beautiful time of healing with you!
Also, please note that Mass will not be included as a part of this retreat so that participants and team members can worship at their home parishes.
