Broken & Beloved aims to provide Theology of the Body catechesis and evangelization in through books and other media as well as retreats for women affected by the breakdown of intimate relationships and family life.

​The work materials and retreats offer an invitation to a Sacramental and communal healing journey, highlighting women's dignity in Christ in all circumstances. We contemplate the mystery hidden in God before time began, revealed through our bodies as male and female and fulfilled in Jesus' incarnate invitation to relationship with Him, offered to all women of broken circumstances, confirmed in the Gospel, and unveiled through the writings of Saint John Paul II.

Broken and Beloved is open to any woman desiring to attend. We welcome those of all faith traditions. Although from the heart of the Catholic Church and the mind of St. John Paul II, the Theology of the Body is effective as a universal language, providing fundamental answers to the question, "How do are made whole as humans made in the image and likeness of God?”

Some of the broken situations that women experience may range in intensity and although we provide discretion for all, sometimes some of the women feel more comfortable sharing more about their situations than others. Some issues that may come up include intimate relationship issues, separation, divorce, infidelity,  deception, abuse (spousal, intimate partner, or childhood), violence, traumatic injury, a marriage that needs healing, sex addiction, family wounds, terminal or chronic illness, multi-layered traumas, broken family life, abandonment, same-sex attraction or transgender issues, pornography, sex trafficking, incest, grieving, abortion, miscarriage, widowhood. 

Testimonial 1: "The whole woman was ministered to. By that I mean physically there was marvelous food, fun, fellowship, and the beauty of nature. Emotionally and spiritually there were times of deep prayer, intimate sharing, professional counseling, scripture, and Sacraments. Intellectually, there were meaningful teachings on the Theology of the Body which meant a lot to me."

Testimonial 2: "I hope and encourage any woman who feels that her life and relationships are damaged beyond repair to know that, although we may be broken, we are still HIS BELOVED and He can make us beautiful."

Testimonial 3: "Having suffered so much abuse and emotional neglect, it was hard for me to trust God as a 'loving Father.' Being able to spend time alone before the Blessed Sacrament and hearing the powerful words of truth spoken during the presentations about God, His plan for me, and how much He loves me as his daughter, changed my whole perspective."
