TESTIMONY I enjoyed all the scheduled sessions, I particularly feel the Annunciation and the Mysteries of the Rosary certainly renewed and invigorated my beliefs as I continue to walk in the footsteps of Mother Elisabeth. Everyone seemed to benefit spiritually in the guided meditation and planting of the miniature daffodils. We all had fun with this activity, using our hands, getting dirty and playing with dirt! And lastly, your drumbeat did indeed bring us in touch with our inner peace. I hope you consider bringing it again; it contributed to a very spiritual and peaceful environment. I feel the time-line of the retreat was appropriate; this format gives adequate group session and self-reflection time. I'm pleased that we will be back to Marie Joseph Spiritual Center next year; the Sisters and staff truly make you feel welcomed in this sacred space! Ocean of emotions... Lori Dressel, student

I did express on Sunday morning during our closing prayer/wrap up session that I was truly happy to attend this year's retreat. I certainly feel recharged and refreshed from the time spent singing, praying, reflecting, listening and sharing with the associates and sisters who were in attendance. As you know, due to my commitment to college studies over the past 18+ months I have been unable to be active with the associate gatherings. I certainly have missed everyone; it was great to see them, spending the weekend focusing on "All things are possible with God!"
