Welcome! My name is Mary Neary and I’m so glad you’re here. This is a place for faith seekers, faith leaders, teachers, caregivers, single, married, divorced, religious and anyone looking for support and resources designed to refresh and renew you in God’s love! At our baptism we became sharers in the mission of God’s Church given gifts and talents necessary to live out God’s call and purpose for our lives. It is my hope and desire to help you discover (or rediscover) these gifts and talents so that you can share them with others and in your church communities in the following ways.
I offer RETREATS AND MISSIONS for groups and individuals seeking to develop and grow in their relationship with God specializing in personal and spiritual development.
I OFFER WORKSHOPS to sharpen Listening Skills, Managing Stress, Balance Work and Ministry, Train Pastoral Care Ministers, and help in the formation of future Catholic Lay Leaders.
I support and encourage FAMILIES in their ole as a parent(s) through education, support groups, retreats and one-on-one mentoring.
NEW - Virtual Retreats and Workshops designed for those who are homebound or not able to attend in person
If you’re wondering where to get started, here are a few RESOURCES:
We are standing at the threshold of a clean slate and how we choose to live the new days ahead have yet to be written. Will we choose kindness over spite, patience over intolerance, unity over division and forgiveness over revenge?
Two Ears and one Mouth: The greatest gift you can give someone is to stop talking and listen without judging and having any pre-conceived ideas about what the person is saying.
Running After Time: Time is a precious commodity today, especially for the family.
Family Traditions: Building a strong foundation. It is never too late to establish family traditions and rituals that will lift the spirits and strengthen the love between you and your family!
Season of Change: For many of us the thought of making a change whether it is job, location or just a new hair style can cause great anxiety and stress. What if…
Eucharist and the Family: The Spirituality of the meal: Plan, Purpose, Preparation and Presence.
Care for the Caregiver: If you need something done they always say, “ask a busy person”. In this workshop you will receive the tools necessary in order to deal with stress and avoid burn-out.
