TESTIMONIES

WOW! This was my third year going to camp and I never thought they could make it any better then they did last year but they did. GROUP 51 WAS THE BEST! The teens, adult leaders, and staff was the greatest everyone was so much fun. No one ever complained cause of the heat or lack of showers, they just wanted to serve God. This had to be one of the most spiritual experiences I've ever had especially with the 4 corners. (Chris, Katie, Rachael, Steve thanks for caring.) This will certainly be a week I will never be able to forget. Thanks to everyone that attended.

God bless all of you,

I want to tell you thanks. I went to the Milwaukee Workcamp this summer with 2 of my 4 children. My daughter had a life-altering experience during the 4 corners night. She had been experimenting with alcohol. At reconciliation, I don't know what the priest told her, but she came out and told me that anything I might find out that happened before that night didn't count because she was changed now. Even now, I can still see some change in her. My son came home so pumped up that his twin, who stayed home because the whole idea was "dumb", is now signed up for next summer's mission trip. I was so thankful for the chance for my kids to be with so many Catholic kids and see that it can be fun to be a Catholic. The other thing that really touched me was the staff member, I think it was Joe, who told his personal story about being adopted. Rachel (my daughter) is also adopted, and I saw her turn and look at me to see if I was listening when he said he was adopted. Being adopted has never really been an issue in our family, but as she is getting older, she seems to be searching for something. To hear his story touched her. So thank you for giving my children such a great experience.

Sincerely,
Mary Lou Devlin PS - I have to say it was great for me too! I wish there had been something like this when I was young.
