Forgive Those You Love

... Before It's Too Late.

Parental relationships can be challenging. Dorenda understands

that better than most. As a child with a beautiful, talented

mother who married seven times, drank too much, and

parented too little -- whom she loved, but did not like - life

growing up was not always easy.

Years later, she came to realize that difficult dynamics continue

to affect and harm our lives and current relationships. While

writing her mom's eulogy, she recognized there is no such thing

as "burying the past."

It was a rude awakening to discover that her mother had

ultimately taught her the most important lessons we, humans,

can learn in life:

- Forgive unconditionally (even what you can't forget).

- Love without judgment.

Dorenda offers her story of healing

and forgiveness as she discovered

that her mom was actually a pretty

likable, remarkable, and admirable

person. She just had to get to know

her. This memoir is for anyone who

had a difficult or traumatic childhood

because of alcohol, abuse, divorce,

neglect, or poverty.

What Our Visitors are Saying


​Not Catholic? Don't let that stop you. The experience is universal. Brother Joseph's miniatures capture Western even some eastern images. The out door setting invites thought and meditation. Bells reminded me of a call for prayer in Cairo. The birds will gladden any nature lover's heart. Peaceful for those who yearn for it but no doubt punctuated by Catholic tradition and artifacts: December 2019

Beautiful place! The staff is helpful and courteous. The gift shop has a very nice variety of religious items.: December 2019
