How to Prepare for your First Counseling Session
Prepárese para su conversación con el consejero
“An integral part of the Dominican charism is to proclaim the Truth and to minister to the needs of each person in their body, mind, and soul. The greatest gift of my priestly ministry is to preach on the truth of the human person and journey with you towards healing and joy. Rejoice Counseling Apostolate is at Holy Rosary to assist with this journey, so that whatever you are going through—psychologically, emotionally, or relationally—you can experience the fullness of joy that can only be found in Jesus Christ, the source of our ultimate healing.”
– Fr. Peter Damian Harris, OP
