New York, NY 10012
Join St. Agnes Church in Manhattan for an introduction and brief overview of the Inner Healing Retreat.
This three-day psycho-spiritual journey helps participants explore and address the deep human dilemma: “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do, but what I hate, I do… Who will rescue me?”(Romans 7:15, 24)
The retreat focuses on healing inner wounds that prevent us from experiencing peace, joy, and love—using psychospiritual tools rooted in Catholic faith.
Module A: Prepares participants for the healing journey by creating a “holding environment”—an experiential, participatory space—and introducing essential tools.
Module B: Offers opportunities to identify developmental wounds and deficits and to heal them using the tools learned. The focus is on healing negative emotions for a God-centered life.
Module C: Deepens the healing experience by uncovering limiting beliefs and maladaptive schemas, enabling deeper healing for a Gospel-centered life.

Tickets must be purchased in advance! Tickets $15 – available online only (not sold at the theater). To purchase, go to: https://bit.ly/4dwz05x Wednesday August 27th 2025 at 7:30PM. ATRIUM STADIUM CINEMAS, 680 ARTHUR KILL RD, STATEN ISLAND, NY 10308
Filmed in Europe, this is the first full-length feature movie on St. Augustine. Its message of sin, conversion, and redemption is as timely today as it was in the fifth century. It is the story of a gifted man who pursues fame and fortune without a moral compass—and the dramatic changes that occur in his soul when challenging events lead him to see the light of truth. It also chronicles the collapse of the Roman world and how Augustine laid the intellectual foundations of what would later become Europe. Alongside Augustine, the stories of two other great saints, Monica and Ambrose, are also portrayed.
