Abounding Joy Events

You're Invited to BUILD a NEW LIFE WORKSHOP! Starts January 21st!

Support Group Participants Say:
BNLW Participants Say:

I don't think I would have made it through my divorce without the Support Group. M.L.
I come to the Support Group to get recharged. It's much better
for me than therapy. I leave feeling renewed with a new direction. This group has become my 'framily'.
R.E.

I highly recommend Carolyn Klika’s Build a New Life Workshop Catholic Divorce Healing Program.

We felt closer to God and connected to our group in the first 30 minutes of the course! What a beautiful, supportive, inclusive experience it has been. We didn't want the 12 weeks to end! A.B.

Trust in Him ~ Releasing Worry & Anxiety Adult Retreat by Carolyn Klika Catino

​

In these troubling times with health, financial and interpersonal issues, along with
the troubling nightly news, it's harder than ever to avoid worry, fear & anxiety.

Our world doesn't offer us stability and security, but we know who does!
Our Lord calls us to develop a deep, abiding trust in Him. As we trust Him, He offers us peace amid the swirl of uncertainty and trials, especially in this upside-down world.

​

The focus of Trust in Him is to identify and release our fears and worries to the Lord and draw closer to Him in deeper reliance and trust. This event offers you a safe, peaceful time to connect more deeply with Christ and lay your cares at His feet. 
 

  • What worries and fears are you carrying in your heart?

  • Can you really trust God when trials loom?       

  • What does God have to say to you about the worries you carry, through Scripture, the Saints and directly to your heart? 

  • How can you overcome the obstacles in your life that lead you to worry?

​

If you'd like the answers to these questions, then Trust in Him is for you.
