Attending these retreats has been the greatest experience of my life. I learned so much about others and myself. Great friendships have come out of these retreats because a special and strong bond is formed. In those wonderful three days you are able to open up to others and bring the best out in yourself while helping others find themselves too. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about or miss the Emmaus retreat program. I gained so much and wouldn’t have found it any other way. - Samantha Cohen ‘11 Emmaus XXII
