Many volunteers and staff members worked together to make this retreat a success. A special thank you goes out to Pastor Fr. Kenny, new parish Director of Faith Formation Maria Luz, and Nancy Elhajj (Regional Coordinator with Women of Grace).

"The Benedicta spring week-long immersive was one of the most intense and wonderful weeks academically and spiritually that I have ever experienced. Graces abounded with new and renewed knowledge and intimacy with Our Lady and the Trinity. Bishop Waltersheid and Dr. Wallenfang were so Marian and such gifted and inspiring speakers!
"’Im so grateful to have had the opportunity to attend the Immersive seminar. I understand and appreciate the amount of work that goes into planning such an event, and your attention to detail, organization, and timing were excellent. Your kind attention to specific requests was thoughtful, too.
"This week was one of respite, rejuvenation, rigor, and relaxation. I pray that we can all pause and receive the outpouring of graces that were not just showered, but poured down upon us, by Our Lady through the instrument of the Benedicta Institute, and all those who helped make this week possible." -Melissa H
