Testimonials

Listen to our fellow Choicer Jerome and his retreat experience

In our everyday lives, we make choices. What time to sleep or wake up? What to eat throughout the day? What to wear on a daily basis that is if we don’t have uniforms to wear. The basic decisions we face in our lives. What about the major choices in life,

I first heard of the Choice retreat from the coordinator of the youth group at my Parish of St. John the Baptist in San Juan. One day she came up to me after one of our group meetings and asked if I ever did Choice. My first response was, “what is Choice?

When I heard the word 'retreat', I was a bit worried that it was going to be overwhelmingly religious! I was sure that the facilitators would've have been 'super-holy' people and that I would probably start to feel bad about my own failings and my relationship

It was 1987 when I was single male young adult 22 yrs old. At that time I need guidance to be a good adult. Trapped teenager mentality who grew in hectic society/community. 3 days, 2 night weekend catholic choice retreat, got to know about myself, then some keynote to developing from anger, inner wound to grow to be peaceful and mature personality. Until this day I still learning and developing myself. The retreat is to get the keynote in several sessions, try to apply in my daily life. Fail and succes, need 7 years after the retreat to feel I AM O.K. in fact the learning and growing never stop. Find peace and better me year by year. It's the te grace of god that i have experienced this retreat. It's depends on each individual needs and interest. It's depends on how eager you want to develop yourself.
