I'm reading your "A well -built faith" right now and I'm sure I will probably read it over and over again. It's a great book for learning more about our faith. I just wanted to put the word out to all catechists that I spent this past weekend at a retreat offered by the Jesuits at Bellarmine Hall (www.bellarminehall.org) in Barrington, IL and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life! I would recommend this, or any, retreat (they offer both men's and women's retreats at Bellarmine) to anyone looking to get closer to the Catholic faith. This was a silent retreat and I went there hoping to "hear" the voice of Jesus and his Blessed Mother Mary was the one that ended up speaking to me....loud and clear.!!! The retreat was a great gift to myself that I know is going to help me more effectively share our faith with others. God Bless. Greg Olson Joe,
