The "Centro para la recuperación y el crecimiento psicoespiritual: Nuestra Señora de Montserrat", is a non-for-profit private association of lay people who share one same ideal and mission. Our spirituality is basically that of Saint Ignatius of Loyola. Lic. Lorena Reyes is the director. The apostolic director and founder is Jesuit Priest Father James J. Wheeler, S.J.
"Nuestra Señora de Montserrat" Prayer Center belongs to the Society of Our P.C. of Our Lady of Guadalupe, formed by other centers in the United States, Mexico and other countries. We offer workshops/courses created by psychologists and catholic priests, designed for the essential growth and inner healing of the human person.
The first pilot courses emerge in the year 1999 in Barcelona, Spain as the fruit of “El Centro de Oración del Sagrado Corazón” (The Sacred Heart Prayer Center) in Mexico City. They started in the year 2002. Since then, countless amount of people have been assisted through Christian psychology as individuals, couples or in groups.
The services offered are based on methods which integrate diverse psychological tools, with Christian prayer. We invite Jesus to bring his love to the wounds of a person, through the Holy Spirit. Some techniques and knowledge of psychoanalysis, of humanistic and cognitive psychology are used to help discover and become aware of what is necessary to work on and change in order to carry out this process.
We count on the support of some priests among which are:
Help people in their growth and integrated recovery: psychological, emotional and spiritual.
To bring the love, mercy and healing of Jesus Christ to human beings. .
To find and foster a personal relationship with Jesus Christ..
These objectives are achieved through:.

The wounds and messages received from our surroundings: school, family, religion etc. Many times are not healthy of incoherent. They halt or distort the growth of our true identity. False roles and false forms are created with which we relate. A void is created and an interior disconnection. On occasion it gives rise to addictions and inadequate relationships.
Through this workshop we will learn to relate in healthy ways leaving room to be whom we are and allowing others to be responsible for their own lives.
A person’s growth goes through different stages, from conception to death. In each stage gifts are developed that help us mature, grow and be happy. The wounds and lacks suffered in these stages halt personal growth and diminish the capacity to love God, love oneself and love others.
