sunnysideup Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 First of all was anyone else there? I was so excited because when they called the girls that thought they may have a vocation to the religous life up to the front NINE girls from my parish stood up (I was one of them) . It was wonderful, esp. because when we sat down people kept patting me on the back and saying words of support, someone even said "I knew it!" to me. Please kept all of them in your prayers, as well as the men that stood for priestly vocations. Thank you : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnysideup Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Of course I will pray for you. You are going to have a great time!! Where is the conference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigid Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I went to my first one last week! it was incredible!!! quite seriously the best retreat I have EVER been on. It gave me a chance to sort a lot of things out that needed sorting, straighten my priorities, helped me make the best confession of my life, made me more comfortable with charismatic prayer, and left me feeling more determined than ever to be holy and stay active in my prayer life. it was almost too good to be true. of course I'll pray for you guys! I have a friend who just got back from a conference and a ton of friends leaving tomorrow for one... please keep them in your prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I didnt go to the front, I am discerning, and was impressed by the number of girls who are as well (and all the guys who stood for the priesthood.. wowza!)

tvu_srfan Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 You're probably addressing Brigid, but I was actually in Steubenville for a week and a half last week. Or..at least I was in Jefferson County. We were there for Catholic Familyland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fr. Antony Maria OSB Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Hey, I was at HSY 4, too! And I was one of the guys who went up for those discerning the priesthood, and there were a lot! And o a ton of girls thinking about becoming nuns! It was soooo awesome! None of the girls from my group went up, though. I was in the group with the shirts that said "Fr. Matt's Fault!" on the back each day, lol! Good old Fr. Matt, everything that happened to us this weekend was his fault, lol jkjk! It was all very good and amazingful! For me, though, the most powerful part was definately Adoration: it was sooo inspiring to see so many people adore our Lord like that, as well as to see Christ so close! It was awesome! May God bless and protect you always in all of your endeavors! Your Brother in Christ, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they have a lot of retreats there throughout the year. We went to one of the four Holy Family Fests that they have in the summer. They're a week long, and they're [b]really [/b]good. It was our fourth year going. Oh and btw the Apostolate for Family Consecration just received [url="http://news.familyland.be/archives/175"]Pontifical Status[/url] last month. And they have centers on all of the continents. They're an Apostolate dedicated to consecrating families in the truths of the Catholic faith, and to the Holy Family. (see sig.)
