"With deep appreciation I write my thanks. As I lived and walked for four days while on retreat, I felt the presence of God’s Peace in all areas of the Norbertine Center for Spirituality. The graciousness is outstanding and shared by each one of your staff. I pray that all who come here will know and feel the Peace I have felt." —a recent retreatant
