Transformed in Love Marriage Prep Workshop

Sacred Heart Church Hall, Waltham, MA

Feb 24-25, 2024

"The future of the world and of the Church passes through the family." -St. John Paul II

A strong vibrant marriage is the heart and soul of society as it forms the cradle of life and love—the family. Good preparation is essential for the journey and helps lay a solid foundation for a holy and happy marriage. Transformed in Love arms you, the couple, with the practical tools and faith-filled wisdom that prepares you for a family life with one another centered on God. It provides tools for the day-in, day-out workings of marriage and awakens you to the beauty and power of faith in Jesus Christ rooted in the richness of the Catholic faith.

Transformed in Love is the marriage preparation workshop of the Archdiocese of Boston for engaged couples and those seeking a convalidation after civil marriage. This offering of the workshop will be the 16-hour version, in-person. The registration fee includes meals, couple workbooks, resources, Holy Mass, Sacrament of Reconciliation, and certificate of completion. The Mass within the workshop will satisfy a Catholic's weekend obligation to attend.

6:00 PM Friday Nov 17 -- 4:00 PM Saturday Nov 18, 2023  |  School of Healing

6:30 PM Saturday Nov 18  |  Healing Service FREE & OPEN to the public

The School of Healing is a two-day IN-PERSON event that provides the foundations for you to be equipped to proclaim God's love by praying for physical healing. Healing is Jesus’ idea. It was essential to the effective proclamation of the Gospel during Jesus’ ministry and we are convinced it is one of the missing components to the effective New Evangelization of our nation. Based on the curriculum of the Encounter School of Ministry, attendees will experience two powerful days of activation-based learning in a safe and relational environment grounded in teaching faithful to the Catholic Church. Our hope is that you would experience a great acceleration of effectively praying for healing and walk away with years worth of tools and ideas for equipping in the healing gifts and building a culture of healing in your spheres of influence.

Ages 12+ welcome to register and get equipped and activated to pray for healing.

Worship, registration at-the-door, and check-in begins at 6:00pm on Friday night.

Saturday evening includes a healing service beginning at 6:30pm, FREE & OPEN to the public.

Lenten Parish Mission - Breakthrough!

Sacred Heart Parish, Waltham, MA

Tuesday, March 28 - Thursday March 30, 2023

"My soul thirsts for God, the living God. When can I enter and see the face of God?" --Ps 42:3

Are you stuck, weighed down, or wound up? Are you running on empty? Is it “dark” “out there”? Violence. Economy. Pandemic. Maybe it’s “dark” “in here”? Disease. Oppression. Addiction. Trauma. Unforgiveness. We all seek breakthrough, whether in family, friendships, finance, faith, forgiveness, healing hearts & bodies, or more. We are created for greatness but often settle for mediocrity. We are created to “run the good race” but often crawl, nevermind walk or run. Where do we go from here? Where’s the joy? Where’s the healing? Where’s the freedom? Come join us for three nights of answers, and experience breakthrough!
