What We Do
Santus Salutem, Inc. is a Non-profit, tax exempt, lay apostolate rooted in Romans 12:2, Colossians 2:6-8, and Roman Catholic Tradition. We build on Thomistic and Moral Psychology Principles, Education of Truth found by Faith and Reason, and Research of the temporal and spiritual elements of the human condition. We utilize truth regarding the anima (soul) and spiritu (spirit) with regards to out immortal soul and human condition. We incorporate a Religious and Biblical approach to address the dis-order and des-ease conflicting humanity today, which has been perpetuated by failed systems of Psychology and Psychiatry, as both regularly shit God and the human soul out of their practices, We adhere to the belief that, “no genuine therapy or treatment for psychic disturbances can ever conflict with the moral obligation of the patient to pursue the truth and to grow in virtue” (JPII). We tap into the inner essence of our being, focus on reconnecting with the source of the Life – God, reorienting our lives toward God, realigning our hierarchy under God, and reaffirming our health by rooting our soul in God.
We do this with Coaching, Mentoring, Spiritual Direction, Education and Research.
From the Beginning
In the beginning was the word, the Old Testament, then Jesus Christ who instructed the Roman Catholic Tradition in the New Testament with the Apostles and then the writings of the Saints, eventually the Catechism and NOW it is the Faithful who continue to promote the Truths of Jesus.
“He who is the same yesterday, the same today, and the same forever!”
Where We Are Now
We are building an Apostolate to “Pay-It-Forward” from your generation to your community to the next generation and future communities. One person at a time, one marriage at a time, one household at a time, and one TRUTH at a time.
