“Thank you, thank you, thank you! We were nourished spiritually, physically and emotionally. Thank you for the delicious food (especially Julie, Peter & Fr Jim), thank you for the invaluable insights and stories (especially Tricia, Michael, John and Anne) and thank you Jim (the spirit literally flows from you).”

“This weekend provided us both with the tools to be open and honest and to knock down our walls through true forgiveness and love. We are so excited to continue this and enjoy our marriage with the right focus- us! It will help us as role models, as parents, as friends and as spouses. We are firm believers and advocates of MRC programs. I am still blown away by the incredible impact provided by a proven program. The power of the Holy Spirit is so strong and this is due to having committed Christians dedicating their time for the glory of god. Thank you!”

“I liked the fact that the discussion was with my wife and not a group discussion. I enjoyed and appreciated the examples given by Michael and Tricia. The Seminar has given us some tools and mechanisms to explore our issues. It has given us some time to focus on the positives.”
