La Escuela de Evangelizacion San Andres te invita a un retiro de sanación “José, el Soñador”
Nuestro presente está integrado tanto por las experiencias positivas como negativas del pasado, así como los sueños y objetivos del futuro. Sin embargo, los sueños e ideales son capaces de redimensionar la historia, sanando las heridas del pasado para vivir intensamente nuestro presente. José, el Soñador, nos motiva a soñar para vivir con esperanza en este mundo.
