What Holy Family Means to Me...

Holy Family is a part of who I am. Ever since my first retreat 7 years ago, the messages of the retreat experience have become beacons in my journey through life.

As I now reflect back on my retreats, I am amazed at how perfectly the themes have aligned to my life's situations at that time. From the birth of my children to the reconciliation of past pains, Holy Family has provided me with the strength, wisdom, and faith to be a better man.

God is in these walls, the retreat team, the music, the food, and most certainly all of the retreatants. By spending a weekend surrounded by God, it has become increasingly easier to connect with God amongst my everyday life throughout the year.

I pray that God continue to bless this place and each of us who gather here.
