STUDENT COMMENTS

[The program] Gave me tools to work within the challenging environment of a parish church.

[I received] a stronger vision of hope for our church as a whole.

This course was inspiring and renewing for my ministry. It gave me a much clearer understanding of some of the dynamics of leadership in my congregation. The liturgical formation was quite powerful. By the end of the week, I had a much deeper understanding and appreciation for the Divine Service and had recovered much of my early joy as a Christian.

I came away from the course energized and with renewed enthusiasm for what I do.

It was great to be right on campus, and the food was absolutely fantastic! I felt quite cared for.
