Lily giving the word of thanks
In thanking Fr. Joe, Lily Faunillan said, they were grateful to have had you, Fr. Joe to direct our Retreat this year.
We would like to express our words of gratitude to you for saying yes to be our Retreat Master and offering us such a wonderful retreat.
In every conference we have had, you provided us with solid material and the right mix of biblical passages, reflection and your profound personal insight from your personal mission experiences. Indeed, it gives us a sense of direction to find a greater intimacy of friendship with Christ.
We found your presentations so inspiring and inviting that they resonate in us your marvelous stories that are filled with jokes and a sense of humor.
Fr Joe McHugh
You were ever thoughtful in all the little details you put into your presentations. Moreover, it's rich visual aid and providing us with a hard copy at the end of our conferences to look at in our own time in a form of a poem, a dialogue or a story, somehow encouraged and challenged us, as we move forth reflecting our spiritual life day by day.
Apart from that, it has an auditory feast of instrumental music that helps us to calm ourselves, set our mood, give us peace of mind, body and soul so that we can invite and allow the holy spirit to be with us and make us feel comfortable by filling us with enthusiasm and attentiveness in every conferences that we had.
