“On Awakening” is a contemplative painting experience. No skill is required, just a willingness to show up! Rooted in the spiritual rhythms of recovery and the Church, this five-week series, led by Jason Gonzalez of 4th Dimension Sobriety, offers a quiet space to reflect, to reconnect, to create and to receive. Each brushstroke becomes a step toward hope – a visual prayer that invites grace to do what we cannot do alone.
Sessions will be held in the Old St. Mary Parish Center (835 N Milwaukee St) beginning at 7:00 pm on May 27, June 3, June 10, June 17 and June 24.
Each session will be centered on a different mystery of the Rosary. You are invited to attend one, two…or all five sessions! All materials will be provided.
To register or learn more, contact Chad Griesel at cgriesel@ffpmke.org or 414-271-6577 x1014.

Healing the Whole Person: Engaging Your Story is an 8-week series that provides the framework for understanding and receiving Christ’s healing and peace in the heart of the Catholic Church.
Using videos featuring Dr. Bob Schuchts & Sr. Miriam James Heidland presenting the John Paul II Healing Center’s Healing the Whole Person teachings, each session includes a guided prayer experience and a workbook journaling activity for private reflection and prayer. These sessions also include the opportunity to receive the sacrament of reconciliation and to pray with a prayer team trained by the John Paul II Healing Center.
The goal of this video series is to facilitate a personal encounter with Jesus’ merciful love and healing truth in the areas where people have felt disconnected from love and bound by lies. We have witnessed God work powerfully in the lives of those who participate with an open heart. Wherever you find yourself now is not the end of your story. God is here. God has more for you. Engaging Your Story is time set aside for God to guide you through.
