Memories of Couples Retreats and Women's Retreats - leading retreats, being on teams, and building lasting wonderful friendships sharing our faith, families, and our stories... attending these through the years are some of my favorite memories.
At the groundbreaking ceremony, we were told we could get dirt and put it in a container to bring home as souvenirs. I kept that glass jar for many, many years. I watched the development of the construction of the church, and that was exciting. Another memory was the unveiling of the huge crucifix in the church. The church was full, and there were many reporters taking pictures. I had the opportunity to meet the artist.
