After nearly two decades of ministry work, I have been provided opportunities to speak, lead, and participate in Catholic retreats at various locations across the United States. Though the Lord can use the presence of those gathered in His name to bring forth light within the canyons of our hearts, of all the retreat centers I’ve visited, no place allows for such transformation to occur better than the facilities of Whispering Winds CCC. 

After nearly two decades of ministry work, I have been provided opportunities to speak, lead, and participate in Catholic retreats at various locations across the United States. Though the Lord can use the presence of those gathered in His name to bring forth light within the canyons of our hearts, of all the retreat centers I’ve visited, no place allows for such transformation to occur better than the facilities of Whispering Winds CCC. With each event, the staff faithfully devote themselves to the needs of their groups, both offsite and onsite and prior, during, and after. This level of hospitality, coupled with the beautiful camp facilities, allows the Spirit of God to work with ease. St. John the Baptist sought to “prepare the way” by being the “voice of one crying out in the wilderness.” Whispering Winds CCC continues that way and remains the location of that voice within my own spiritual journey towards Jesus Christ. I am indebted to them.

Whether I visit our beautiful Whispering Winds camp to serve or to receive, I am always filled with the Spirit on that Holy Ground.  I come home with a light heart full of the peace and love that is always present at our camp.
