From Celeste Sciortino, Wilmette, Ill.:

I was very impressed by how clean and well equipped the retreat center was.  My bed was so comfortable and my room had a very homey feel to it.  The kitchen was clean and well organized and VERY convenient.  Certainly the Sisters have thought of everything.  The little basket of complimentary sundries in the foyer came in quite handy as I did forget to bring toothpaste!

I also appreciated that I was free to define my own program/retreat and do whatever I needed to do to fulfill my search and spiritual quest.

I really loved the library.  I was impressed by how many different kinds of books were available and only wish I had the time to read all of them. 

I can’t say enough about Sister Catherine and how helpful her spiritual direction was.  She understood exactly what I needed in a short span of time and with very little input from me.  I feel so lucky and so blessed to have been under her guidance and to have been touched by her loving wisdom. 

Finally, I'd like to thank Sister Catherine, Sister Charlotte and all the Sisters at St. Mary's for their unselfish service and for helping me restore my faith and reconnect with the Divine within. 

Thank you and God Bless.
