Clayton	I was so pleased with the whole set up. Everything was neat and functional. I appreciate the time that goes into all this. Thank you so very much and God bless you.
Anne	For being a simple room it has everything a 5 star room has except a 50" TV, and you sure don't need that on a silent retreat!! Thanks to all of you.
Andy	Love, love, love the Franciscan Retreat house. Feels so homey, cozy, warm and inviting. Thank you!
Ed	I just love it here - thanks for another amazing year!
Lori	Everything was awesome and well kept. the food was great. Thank you for providing a place of quiet to seek God
Lisa	I really like the prayers, both written and spoken and the peace, the love of God, support and guidance from spiritual direction. I leave with a refreshed soul.
	I got to walk in the woods and that was wonderful. God is so present in nature and being out in the woods for real is so much better that looking at it through windows!
