COMMENTS FROM JESUIT RETREAT CENTER RETREATANTS

The Spiritual Exercises
" 'Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you.' (John 14: 27) In JRH I have found a place in which my spirit can find a peace within the innocence and beauty of these surroundings." - Michael Chiasson, Houston, Texas 

" 'Be still and know that I am.' JRH has been a sacred place where I feel God's peace, warmth, love, healing and acceptance. I feel like I am home and never want to leave." - Rosemarie La Neve, Archbold, Ohio

Retreats for Women Religious
"JRH is a favorite, cherished, and very much at-home place for me to be - always welcome and loved." - Sr. Ignatius Jones, SIW

High School Retreats
"The three days I spent on the Kairos retreat at Jesuit Retreat House were the most life-changing days of my life. It was great to be able to get away from school-work and all of my responsibilities at home, to just be able to spend time with my classmates and God. I know God touched me on that retreat, and now I want to try to be a better son, a better friend, and a better Catholic." - a senior from St. Ignatius High School, Cleveland, Ohio

Confirmation Preparation Day Retreats
Students from Saint John Bosco School in Parma Heights, Ohio made these comments about their day at the JRH pre-confirmation retreat:  

  "It is a quiet, tranquil place where you can come into contact 
  with God."   - Matt Rowan

  "At JRH you can escape the hectic world of today and sleep on heaven's 
   silence." - Ann Marie Cline

Retreats for Members of Alcoholics Anonymous
"I made my first retreat in 1960, and every year after, for forty one years. My Higher Power, whom I choose to call God, has helped me with the twelve step program. I appreciate my new way of life and have been helped by all of the priests at JRH. Thanks." - an AA Member, Brookpark, Ohio

Pre-Cana Program
"It is a blessing to participate as a presenting couple for Pre-Cana at JRH, where we have truly witnessed the spirit of God working in the hearts of the couples, leading them to a fuller understanding of the Sacrament of Marriage, a deeper relationship with Him, and with one another." - Tom & Cheryl Maloney, Medina, Ohio

Day Retreats
"Serenity came alive for me in the atmosphere of JRH and all of the people I met. I just wish the day had been longer. I would extend it to days, weeks, months. except, then, that would be heaven." 
- Mary Link, St. Colman Parish, Cleveland, Ohio
