Comments From Participants

Sincere & heartfelt thanks to you both for the wonderful meditative spiritual enlightening evenings which you so kindly donated to us. 

I loved them.

A taste of Martina's poetry from her new book 'Rise Again - Towards A Horizon Of Hope

Tonight was beautiful! As usual Martina your input on the Gospel was outstanding - 'break it open' as you say - I love that phrase and now every Sunday's Gospel presents more potential than it ever did for me!

Lucinda, your presentation tonight was marvellous! How superbly you put that together - we were carried along in awe with the script and the visuals! And then the final song - so so lovely!

Better than a show in the theatre!

Thank you again for these last weeks. I'm really looking forward to the Lenten retreat!

The hard work you had done in the background was very obvious to us!
