Parables of Community St. John the Compassionate Mission, and Ancient Faith Ministries

Healing happens within the community in different ways, and at times it is given to us to witness little miracles. In the end it heals us all, in our heart. And this is the real miracle.

Brother Luke reflects on Holy Week experiences in the community.

Brother Luke reflects on some scenes from every day at the mission.

A community member and Father Nicolaie each reflect on their experience with an aspect of the Gospel story of the young man who was possessed.
