Testimonials from Previous Zoom Events
“I’m sending big thanks and lots of gratitude for the January 6th Zoom Service. I needed the calming advice and assistance in what and how to focus my energy. I absolutely love it when Padre and the Bishops teach. I appreciate the presenters admitting their struggles and how they deal with them by turning to God. It helps me recognize what is bothering me and helps me to feel more connected to the CLM community and trust in the guidance I am receiving.”
– Kate Bradley
“Thank you all for holding such a high space for healing in the breakout rooms. I received many jolts of Joy and deep healing on every level of my being. I was energized at the end of the retreat. That has never happened before! Thank you for helping me learn to receive loving healing.”
With a happy, grateful heart,
Barbara Rose
“I was just online for the Joy retreat and I wanted to share with you how powerful that was for me. It really reminded me there is no such thing as time and space. I have been struggling with anxiety and panic attacks regularly for the last week or two and it has been very overwhelming. When the healings started and I felt God’s presence come over me, I realized it was more of a love attack. I felt circled with love, with joy, with peace. “
