Your Path is a concentrated 6 to 8-week program designed for individuals who suffer and want to feel better and even transform their lives. If you suffer from chronic illness, pain, obesity, stress or anxiety, and are willing to make a commitment to follow a new and better path, this is for you. This program takes place in Hyattsville, MD.

Caring for Body and Soul

“It wasn’t until I attended the Caring for Body and Soul workshop that I made the connection between my physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing.”- 2018 Participant

This open women’s group was established in early 2016 to provide a time and place for women to support one another on their shared journey to serenity, health, and God.  Pre-Covid-19, the group met twice monthly, at 6:45 A.M., at St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church in Hyattsville, MD. —now it meets via Zoom.
