Undone: A Healing Retreat
Undone: A Healing Retreat
Directed by Father Scott Traynor, Director of Broom Tree Retreat Center
Jesus desires to bring healing and restored wholeness to every person. Healing is central to Jesus’ life and mission. By our own sin or the sufferings of the human experience, our hearts can easily become wounded or distant from God, who alone can offer true restoration. Under the patronage of Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, this retreat will assist participants in becoming aware of Jesus’ desire to bring restoration in their lives and will offer opportunities to encounter His healing grace.
Conferences for the retreat will focus on the power of Jesus to heal in mind, body and spirit, and will offer participants practical ways to invite that grace into their own lives. A collaboration of Broom Tree Retreat Center and The Lourdes Center, this retreat will offer time for individual spiritual direction as well as one-on-one discussion with licensed counselors.
Open to men and women age 18 and older, the retreat begins on Friday evening and ends on Sunday after lunch. Broom Tree sponsored retreats are run by donation. The value of the retreat is $275/person. We ask that you prayerfully consider your gift.

About the Hogan’s:
Jen Hogan is a wife, mother, and has been a spiritual director for over 20 years. Ed Hogan is the Academic Dean at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary in Saint Louis, Missouri. He served for many years with Father Jim Mason as part of a team that specialized in integrating human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral formation. Ed has also taught for the Institute for Priestly Formation in Omaha, NE.
Ed and Jen have 6 children and live in Saint Louis, Missouri. They have been married long enough to realize how little they knew when they got married (at 22), and how much they still have to learn. They have discovered that both their strengths and their weaknesses are a gift to each other, and that it’s better and easier to be on God’s journey than their own.
