"The Church is a field hospital"

To more fully make our parishes a place where people find healing, priests need to be equipped to guide people into the transformation that Christ offers. One such powerful tool is the UNBOUND model of inner healing and deliverance.

Heart of the Father's UNBOUND Ministry will be visiting the UK for the first ever Unbound Priest Retreat outside the USA.  The Retreat will feature talks and reflections from Neal Lozano, founder and Executive Director of Heart of the Father Ministries, Matthew Lozano, Director of Heart of the Father Ministries, and Canadian Bishop Most Reverend Scott McCaig, C.C..  The team will be accompanied by Rev. Fr. Antonio Ritaccio who will be available as Spiritual Director.  

This teaching retreat is exclusively for Catholic Priests and will offer a detailed view of the UNBOUND inner healing and  deliverance ministry model.   Priests will learn a variety of practical ways that the "5 Keys" of Unbound can be incorporated into general priestly ministry, including the confessional, pastoral counselling and spiritual direction, as well as in their own lives. Attendees will receive in depth teaching on Unbound and also be taught how to minister to others using the Unbound model.

Retreatants will experience five days of engaging talks, practical teaching sessions, with plenty of time for fellowship with their brother priests. Spending time in prayer together with a focus on the Sacraments will be an important emphasis of this Retreat.  In addition, to daily Mass, there will be ample time for personal prayer and reflection and opportunity to receive personal ministry utilising the 5 keys of Unbound.

The Retreat will provide ongoing formation to aid priestly ministry and will be a time for individual pastoral growth and care. Priests will have the benefit of hearing from experienced, international Catholic speakers and theologians who will present stimulating, thought provoking talks.

The Retreat will start at 2pm on Monday 14th October with an opportunity for Retreatants to meet the Speakers and their fellow brothers.  Please see the sample schedule for the suggested programme.  The Retreat will end after lunch on Friday the 18th.
