MARIAN SERVANTS® of the Blessed Sacrament Catholic School of Healing Prayer
School Overview and Schedule
The School of Healing Prayer began in 2011 at the House of Prayer in St. Augustine Florida. As Marian Servants of the Blessed Sacrament, we recognized a continued need for Christ’s healing for all who are following Him and serving others in ministry. As we are healed, we are able to grow in intimacy and holiness with Christ. We become more like Jesus and are better able to live out our identity, destiny, and purpose in Christ as we bring His love and Gospel to others.
Registration for 2024 is now open.
