Join us for "Healing Hands," an enriching Father-Son workshop that weaves together the practical skills of first-aid with the profound teachings of the Catholic faith. This unique event is designed to strengthen the bond between fathers and sons as they learn to become both physical and spiritual healers in their families and communities.
Event Highlights:
Comprehensive First-Aid Training: Led by experienced first responders and medical professionals, you and your son will receive hands-on training in essential first-aid techniques. Learn how to respond effectively in emergencies, from treating wounds and administering CPR to managing fractures and handling choking incidents. These vital skills will empower you to act confidently in critical moments, ensuring the safety and well-being of those around you.
Catholic Faith Integration: Throughout the workshop, you'll explore the deep connections between the acts of physical healing and the teachings of the Catholic Church. Reflect on the examples set by saints, such as St. Luke the Evangelist, the patron saint of physicians, and St. Camillus de Lellis, the patron saint of the sick, and how their lives demonstrate the call to serve others with compassion and care. You'll also delve into scriptural passages that emphasize the importance of mercy, charity, and the sacredness of life.
Father-Son Bonding: Participate in guided discussions and activities that foster open communication and deeper understanding between fathers and sons. Through shared experiences, you'll build a stronger relationship grounded in mutual respect, faith, and a shared commitment to caring for others. Whether you’re applying a bandage or offering a prayer, every moment together will reinforce the importance of supporting each other both physically and spiritually.
Prayer and Reflection: Conclude the day with a special prayer service, where fathers and sons will join together to offer prayers for the sick, the injured, and those in need of healing. This time of reflection will reinforce the spiritual lessons learned throughout the day and inspire you to continue living out your faith through acts of kindness and care.
