Fatima Retreat House and Other Fun Activities

Day 2
·         We went to Fatama retreat house and painted a whole room in 2 hours…. Beat that!!!!!
·         We swam at a neighborhood pool and played mafia in the park.
·         We had a discussion about vocations with representatives of each vocation (the Priestly, Married, and Religious Vocations).  
·         We ended with adoration, which was a very calming and spiritual experience.

“We really felt the appreciation in the environment that we worked in.” –Maggie G.
“Some of the speeches during our discussion were so moving; it really touched a deep chord.” –Katie C.
“During the discussion, we found that God can speak to us in many ways, some even unlikely.” –Rose M.
“I love painting, but painting in a space that others are using to become closer to God is even better. Today was really fun with all of the bonding….. and the ice cream machine at the retreat house didn’t hurt either!”- Suzy G.
“loved painting and helping the refugee center and really appreciated the priest that took time out of their schedules to share how they knew they were called to the priesthood”-Brice M.
