I was about to be a sophomore in High school and I was spending a week at a summer camp at Forest Glen camps, called Brave The Wilderness. This camp changed my life, and it made me realize why I was catholic. After that week I became very passionate about my Faith and God. I started making several retreats after that week with my older brother, who had just discovered that he wants to become a priest. Each retreat I went on changed my life in different ways, and the most affective one since Brave The Wilderness was the SHINE Catholic Work Camp in San Antonio, Texas and I heard Michael Chiasson speak. It brought me to tears and I cried from the time he was halfway done with his speech to the time I went to sleep that night. My life has been changed in only good ways and I now realize why I’m Catholic and why I love God.
