John Paul II Healing Center

Healing. Teaching. Equipping.

The mission of the Church is the transformation and healing of the world, to bring the whole world to Jesus, and we can’t do that unless we, ourselves, are first healed.

The passion of St. John Paul II was to see the renewal and restoration of the Church. At the John Paul II Healing Center, our mission is to embody his teachings by bringing concrete and tangible healing into the lives of individuals around the world .

“Healing is an essential dimension of the apostolic mission and of Christianity. When understood at a sufficiently deep level, this expresses the entire content of redemption.”

— Pope Benedict XVI, Jesus of Nazareth

Witnesses of Healing

Lay Person, Healing the Whole Person Weekend Retreat

I was able to see the link between my woundedness and my habitual sins and learn that the wounds needed to be transformed so as not be transmitted. I thought I was stuck repeating the same mistakes that wounded me because that was how I was conditioned. But I learned that it doesn’t have to be the case. Healing is possible.

Married Couple, Unveiled Couples Retreat

Life-changing. This conference gave us tangible ways to help open ourselves to God’s living and eternal invitation of that love. Through the acknowledgment of childhood wounds, we were given insight & compassion for ourselves & one another to help us realize healthier & holier ways of being in a relationship with one another and Him.

Religious Sister, Weeklong Religious Sisters Retreat

I realized that being broken is not shameful and that I am still a masterpiece in the eyes of my Spouse.

“I give my blessing to the work of the John Paul II Healing Center, and I have found their process of healing to be helpful for my own life and in the lives of many others.”

–Most Reverend William A. Wack 

Bishop of Pensacola-Tallahassee in Florida
“I cannot recommend highly enough the ministry of the John Paul II Healing Center. For years, many of my seminarian and priest sons have shared with me their experiences of this powerful healing ministry.  I have since experienced it myself and it has truly transformed my life and ministry as a bishop… Dr. Bob Schuchts and his team are truly anointed by the Holy Spirit for this time in the history and life of the Church. I believe what they are doing is part of God’s plan for the Church in our time. I encourage any who are interested to open themselves to what God wants to do in their life through this ministry of healing.”

–Most Reverend Alexander K. Sample 

Archbishop of Portland in Oregon

“Our Carmelite religious family has had the joy and privilege of journeying together through Healing the Whole Person. The resources available through JPII Healing Center are deeply integrated with Catholic anthropology as well as the treasures of the Church’s wisdom throughout the centuries…Our 120 Carmelite sisters, ranging in age from 25-95 have deeply valued and appreciated this transformative process that uniquely unfolds for each sister! We are forever grateful for what Our Lord has done for us through Dr. Bob Schuchts and his team at the JPII Healing Center!”

-Mother Gloria Therese, O.C.D.

Superior General
Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles
