WEEKEND RETREATS (THEME: How do I know what God wants from me?)
This retreat theme (is) challenging; makes me pay attention to the present moment.
(First-time retreatant) I think the biggest thing for me: Is it God' will or my will - In my heart it's God's will. It was a faith-filled 2 days.
(First-time retreatant) ...I enjoyed every minute of it. It was very comfortable & tranquil. It brought me closer to God.
From a mom-caregiver point of view it was nice to be attended to. It gave me an opportunity to take care of just me!
I was very distant from God but now I welcome hime; this experience is a good reflection for me. I thank God for offering this place in the world.
I loved being outside and walking the trails. It was a quiet opportunity to silence the noises and find peace within and listen to God.
(The silence) is the most enlightening aspect...Excellent first experience at any silent retreat. I found a respite where I could find time to listen.
This is my 12th Capuchin retreat! Each year someone touches my heart with a discussion or presentation.
It's so peaceful here, we need this time to be with the Lord and get our lives back on track, like a good tune up.
I also believe that a silent retreat is the best retreat. All my future retreats will definitely be silent!
The silence was very good. It doesn't force us into making small talk. It is freeing.
Thank you all...great job done...obvious that you all are open to the spirit & even more important, you are listening & responding to the spirit. God Bless.
My wife has attended here 5 or 6 times...she finally made the nudge to me to come. Thanks be to God.
FRANCISCAN SPIRITUALITY SERIES
(Fr Bill) kept everyone's attention...he made some complex topics more understandable.
Fr. Bill was exceptional...what a "gem".
(I was personally affected to learn that) God died because He loved me, not because of my sins.
PROGRAMS
(Crafter' Day of Prayer) A wonderful day! I love combining prayer, crafts and meeting new people.
(Midweek Retreat) I really enjoyed hearing about Francis and his joy of falling in Love with Christ.
(24 Hour Retreat) What a blessing to have something like this to come to, to take a break from the hectic world & get closer to God.
(24 Hour Retreat) ...this was a 24 hour period filled with many blessing...I needed this time to realize I want more of this in my life.
(Yoga Retreat) Hope to be back again and will tell my friends & family about this place. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful.
(Yoga Retreat) Thank you for opening your doors for an unconventional retreat. It is truly what our Savior would do.
(Inner Healing Weekend) I was finally able to let God's love in past my pain.
(Inner Healing Weekend) I don't recall a weekend where I felt to nurtured - body, mind & spirit - but most importantly spirit.
(Inner Healing Weekend) This was the first time I have ever gone one-on-one with a Spiritual Director. Helped me to see and understand what might be behind my concerns.
OTHER
I love the flowers, waterfalls, chairs, benches, tables, stations of the cross, etc....different places so that everyone can have their own private spot.
(First-time retreatant) The grounds are so peaceful and helped me be alone with God.
I've been coming to the retreats since 1988 and love every minute of it. I feel like a new person when I go back home.
