Cultivating hope and wholeness for all through ethical medical care, counseling, education, research and referrals in a supportive community.

Image description

Restore Health and Wellness is working toward a sustainable model of healthcare rooted in the Catholic tradition marked by care for the sick, reverence for human dignity, and a commitment to accompany each person in body, mind, and spirit.



To bring Restore Health and Wellness to completion, the lower level of the building must be renovated.



Would you make a year-end gift to support our expansion?
This Christmas season, we hope to raise $50,000 to advance the renovation of our clinic. Your generosity will directly fund architectural renderings, construction costs, and essential equipment. To make a gift, simply scan the QR code or visit www.givebutter.com/RestoreHW.

    To give by check, please make it out to St. Michael’s Family Protection Institute and mail to 1880 East Ridge Road, Unit 8 Upper, Rochester, NY 14622. In the memo line, please indicate Restore.

    Rochester Catholic - A Community Hub

    Rochester Catholic

    RochesterCatholic.com is a community hub. We think that with so many great Catholic organizations in the Rochester area, it would be good to link as many as we can in one place.

    This is for those of us that have been here a while, but especially for those that have just arrived, are recent converts, or those that are looking to move to a place where they can find a thriving community of practicing Catholics in NY.

    Please share with old and new acquaintances!
    January Sursum Corda

    Some of the most meaningful encounters happen
    when we don’t know exactly what to expect.

    Join us for our January Sursum Corda gathering, an evening set apart for prayer, reflection, and openness to the movement of the Holy Spirit. This night is an invitation to step away from the noise, lift your heart, and enter a space of holy anticipation.

    

    We are holding space for something meaningful
    a voice, a witness, a moment
    and trusting the Lord to meet us there.


    Monday, January 12
    6:30 PM to 8:30 PM

    Sacred Heart Cathedral
    – 296 Flower City Park, Rochester, NY
    Always the second Monday of each month

    ➡️ Discover how a quiet, faithful presence can speak louder than words

    In a culture of anxiety and over-parenting, what’s the best way to pass on the faith to our children?

    This thoughtful piece explores mindful underparenting, a parenting approach rooted in presence, example, and genuine love and why what children observe matters far more than what they’re told.

    Drawing on research and real-life insight, this article invites parents to reflect on how faith is lived in the home and how deeply love shapes a child’s spiritual journey.
