What Participants Are Saying

"I saw the face of Christ in the people we met — strangers who welcomed us like lifelong friends."

"Visiting the sugarcane workers was powerful. We heard their stories and saw the harsh realities behind a product we all use."

"The women in the bateyes were so resilient — they’ve faced many challenges but still choose to love and fight for their dignity."

"Mass in the community was beautiful — a hot concrete building with plastic chairs, but filled with joy, song, and welcome."

"Living together made the retreat so much more meaningful. We grew close, shared deeply, and supported each other."

From a Group Leader

"Our students were genuinely moved by the experience. The pace and programming were excellent — enough to engage them deeply without overwhelming them. The Fellows — Kieran, Rachel, and Sami — were fantastic. Despite some schedule changes, everything was communicated clearly and handled smoothly. We’re already thinking about next year’s trip."
