- I felt so at home on my first retreat at the Manoir. I learned that the staff prayed for me as they cleaned my room and served my meals and their warmth and joy were so inspiring. I wanted to try to do the same at home with my own family.
  
  —Maria, a mother of six young children
- I love attending Opus Dei activities because they add to the way I see the world. They give me a better grasp of the beauty and truth of real life and help me become better at being myself.
  
  —Rachel, a 17 year old high school student
- During my later teenage years, I was searching and lukewarm in my faith. The genuine friendship and solid formation I received at the Centre enabled me to reencounter Christ and grow in my relationship with Him. The message of Opus Dei has taught me to direct all my actions and ordinary duties towards a Father who truly loves me as His son.
  
  —Jonathan, a 3rd year medical student
- Opus Dei activities helped my daughter a lot while she was growing up. I think the formation, friendships and advice she received through her adolescence and young adulthood, are the main reasons she is strong in her faith and happily married today.
  
  —Kathleen, a mother of 7 and grandmother of 3
- Opus Dei activities help recharge my batteries. I’m encouraged to enlarge my heart and give the gift of self. I’m certain this helps me be a better wife and mother.
  
  —Frances, a young mother of seven children
- Our adult children have told us more than once, that they still practice their faith because of the answers we gave them when they were questioning their faith as adolescents. My wife and I would never have been able to answer effectively without the formation we’ve received over the years through Opus Dei.
  
  —John, a father of seven grown children
- I am one of the fortunate ladies who attended a retreat at the beautiful new Copper Ridge Conference Centre before we were all confined to our homes. The spiritually uplifting meditations and talks, coupled with the beauty of the oratory and the surrounding natural beauty have helped sustain me in faith and hope during this COVID19 pandemic and given me more tools for helping others in their spiritual journey.
  
  —Jessica
- Having four young children and running a boarding house at a high school filled with 50 teenagers, there are few moments in my day that I can describe as “quiet”. Attending a men’s retreat at Copper Ridge was, in a word, heavenly. It was filled with time to consider how to become closer to God and the perfect space to foster and nurture reflection. On the final day, the unquestionable joy I felt rose in my heart. The benefits of being close to the Blessed Sacrament for such a sustained period helped me grow closer to Our Lord and appreciate at a deeper level what I have been blessed with.
