"I have had the most profound shifts in my perception of life, and God has blessed me with a whole new way to live out my every day."

Holy Family is a special place to me and my entire family. You have always been there for us providing strength, direction, prayer, and God’s love. We are forever grateful to the entire team.

Thanks again for a wonderful weekend. The fact that Brandon, and Father David are able to create an environment where a 71 year old Galwayman and his Americanized 35 year old know-it-all son can have such meaningful - and individual - experiences is, to me, miraculous.

I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience that you all give me each year. I am amazed with the knowledge and information that we receive each year from the Retreat Team. You have helped me grow spiritually and have brought much joy to my life. I truly feel the presence of the Lord when I am around all of you.

I am in college now and I started coming to Holy Family with my mom and sister when I was 16. I have come every year since. I especially appreciate Holy Family because as a young adult it can be really difficult to find a safe, supportive environment to explore my own faith life. When facing adversity in my life, Holy Family helped me hold on to my faith when I found myself lost.

When I come to Holy Family, I feel the presence of God fill my heart. When I drive up the driveway, I feel a sense of calm and well-being, knowing that I am going to be taken care of physically and spiritually. Holy Family is so special because I can feel God’s love and embrace.
