Project Rachel announces
Retreat to be held March 2
STEUBENVILLE -- The Project Rachel ministry of the Diocese of Steubenville extends a special invitation to women suffering from the pain of a past abortion to attend a one-day retreat on March 2
The "Entering Canaan" Retreat will be led by a specially trained priest and counselor. The retreat is completely confidential, according to a news release.
As Theresa Bonopartis, retreat founder, writes: "I can remember the struggle to be faithful, searching in the dark to find God, holding on to His Word because I had tried everything else and longed to be healed. I remember having to keep moving in spite of the pain, the darkness, the fear, because there was nothing to lose. There could be no greater hell than the one I had made for myself."
The news release notes, "She experienced God's healing and forgiveness, and it radically changed her life to design this retreat, which has helped many women across the country and world."
There is no cost for the retreat, but a free will offering will be taken. For information, contact Project Rachel via voice or text at (740) 275-7038 or projectrachel@diosteub.com.
Project Rachel was founded nationally in 1994 and was launched in the Diocese of Steubenville in October of 2017. The ministry has a confidential phone line which connects callers with priests and counselors trained in facilitating healing for men and women suffering in the aftermath of abortion. A Rachel's Vineyard weekend retreat also will be facilitated through Project Rachel the weekend of April 5-7. Those who have attended either retreat in the past are welcome to attend again, and "our phone line is always open for those who are not able to come at this time but would like to talk."
