Some feedback from previous Conferences

God bless you and the work you do. Thanks be to God for people like you in this world. I have enjoyed this weekend.

 

Really enjoyed my first conference. The pace was outlined really well. The sessions were valuable and provided insight to areas that helped close out open end questions and have key take aways from the event.

 

Thanks for a great weekend mate. I really enjoyed it. A great bunch of blokes all fighting their own battles in life but with the same eye on the one prize. God bless

 

Helpful & beneficial, I firmly believe that all Croatian men, young and old should attend. My experience while I know people I was somewhat shy. Yet my small group leader helped me open up and I loved it, great people & I’ve benefitted. God Bless.

 

Learnt a lot from different speakers & my group about how to be a father to my kids & husband to my wife & to be spiritual leader in household.

 

It was uplifting, I needed this.

 

Really encouraging to see God move so much!!

 

Great spiritual weekend and great bonding with the Knights of the Precious Blood.

 

I have finally seen the light after searching for more than 30 years, I thank you and our God and Saviour above for letting me in.

 

Really enjoyed this weekend good bunch of blokes. Well thought off well done boys!

 

This was my first time, really felt closer to God and there was quite a few light bulb moments.

 

Praise God for the beautiful weekend, all the talks were amazing. Father Marks talk is what hit home with me.
