SPIRITUALITY
The men and women who come to Shalom Center are in transition. They have many opportunities to pray and meditate on their life path. They are encouraged to listen to God speaking to them through their experience and are accompanied by a dedicated and experienced staff as they
make changes towards greater commitment in knowing, loving
and serving God and others.
With a dedicated staff of professionals, many have been helped in their own human and spiritual journeys to become more effective ministers, enabling others to experience the compassion of a loving and faithful God.

SACRED HEART
The devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus is at the core of the spirituality of Shalom Center. Jesus’ love in the giving of His every single drop of Blood for love of us reassures our residents in their journey of recovery. Our founder, Father James Harnan, was a member of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart, so he influenced the early days of Shalom Center in this devotion.
Our chapel is the Chapel of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart. Our administration building’s new wing is the Sacred Heart Conference Center. The above beautiful marble mosaic, a project of our residents and graduates, hangs in our Sacred Heart Room. Deeply realizing and, sometimes rediscovering, the love of Jesus makes all the difference in the kind of healing that takes place at Shalom Center.
“You are precious in my eyes and
glorious, and I love you.”
Isaiah 43:4
