Mini Retreat Series: 
Profiles in Excellence – Extraordinary Women and Men in Challenging Times

We understand it takes the work of so many caregivers to promote the common good… so whether you are in direct patient care or working with the families of these patients, in administration, spiritual care, facilities, healthcare professionals, researchers and or first responders, this mini retreat series is intended for ALL who have given so much of themselves in this time of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We hope to nurture the mind, body and spirit of individuals as they watch these mini retreats which are designed to be viewed as you take a break while at work and or want to relax for a few minutes as you return to your home.  May the stories of these extraordinary women and men touch your heart, mind, and soul as they speak to the challenging times they experienced in their lives, just as you are experiencing now in your own.

May this mini retreat series be a gift to you with sincere prayers and appreciation for your extraordinary and holy work.

Scriptural Stations of the Cross  
Bishop Marc Trudeau, the Auxiliary Bishop of Los Angeles for the San Pedro Region, has written these Scriptural Stations of the Cross meditations to give spiritual and emotional support to the Healthcare Workers and First Responders during this time of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We understand the load may be heavy and it is our hope and prayer that these Scriptural Stations of the Cross meditations will provide comfort to those who are working in the healthcare field during this time of the pandemic, knowing they are not alone. May the Holy Spirit touch the hearts and souls of those who pray with these meditations providing some moments of grace and peace.
