Rachel's Vineyard is the world's largest ministry of healing after abortion. Women and men around the world who have lost children to abortion come to Rachel's Vineyard retreats and find healing and hope. Rachel's Vineyard is a ministry of Priests for Life. The retreats are conducted in both Catholic and interdenominational settings.
This retreat model was founded by Dr. Theresa Burke and her husband Kevin. The retreat is based on the extensive research they and others have done regarding the nature of trauma and how to heal from it. The retreats combine these psychological insights with the profound power of the Word of God, which participants encounter in "Living Scriptures," exercises in which they place themselves in the settings of the Biblical stories of forgiveness and redemption.
Kevin and Theresa Burke, the Co-Directors of Rachel's Vineyard, along with its Pastoral Director Fr. Frank Pavone, present seminars for clergy and other professionals regarding healing after abortion.
