“I have to admit at first I was reluctant to join the Women Welcome Weekend, BUT it is by far the best decision I have made. As I sat listening to all the speakers, I knew I had made the right decision. The women courageously told their stories and I finally realized what was missing in my life this Christian Community. A community that does not judge, a community of caring people, which speak your language about religion. I cannot begin to tell you how my life has been changing.”
“Welcome felt like an opening in my life. I was deeply impacted by the stories the women presented on how God has moved in their lives. I began to make new friendships in just a few days. We are not a group of perfect women, but we all fit. We are growing together in friendships that have gone beyond the conference weekend into my life. I have become more active spiritually and I feel God’s presence more deeply.”
“When I walked into the Welcome Weekend, I wasn’t even Catholic. I was excited about growing in my knowledge of the Catholic faith after a lifetime of being Protestant. Yet, I still felt like an outsider. The Welcome Weekend helped me begin to experience St. Raphael’s in a whole new way because it connected me with the women of the parish for the first time. It also helped me to connect more deeply with God. I now have a circle of friends that I can laugh and cry with. We encourage one another and pray for each other, which has been a special blessing for us all.”
