We create opportunities for Jesus to encounter people and help disciples increase their potency.
About Us
Founded in 2006, Life Restoration Ministries Canada is a Catholic apostolate dedicated to renewing the Church through healing and formation. We create spaces for Jesus to encounter his people, help disciples and leaders grow in their God-given identity, and embrace their unique mission in the world.
Through retreats, courses, and resources, we guide people on a journey of human and spiritual integration, equipping them to live fully and courageously as disciples. Our vision is to unlock hearts, and ignite a culture of hope and renewal in the Church and beyond.
Today, Life Restoration Ministries Canada is privileged to serve disciples, leaders and ministries across the world.
