“For this small window in time I was able to take care of my needs first without worrying about how it could affect my family. I didn’t have to put on a mask that says ‘I’m okay’. I can’t begin to tell you how liberating that is…”

“This program has helped me realize there are people that are going through the same – or worse – things that I am, so I was able to gather info on how to deal with things. Really I learned to take time out for me.”

“This program has been timely in my life and helps me to gain clarity by allowing me a quiet weekend without the pressures of daily life. With the economy the way it is, women and especially single moms do not have much time for themselves. The Women’s Respite Program has helped me throughout these years to go back to my home with a better perspective, well rested and ready for the challenges of being a single mother. It is a vital program to so many women like me. We visit and speak to others in the same situation and gain strength from needed camaraderie. Thank you so much for the time and energy Sister Diane, Sister Maureen and others put into this weekend.”

“To be around other women from all walks of life and to be able to open up and not be so shy and sharing and listening to other problems people have… it means so much to know that other people have problems too and you’re not alone and it’s okay to express yourself. I thank God for a wonderful program.”

“This program has been very helpful and life changing for me because I see there are a lot of single mothers who are going through things just like me. It lets me know that I’m not alone.”
