This is my Parish and I have spoken to a number of people who were there.

Wow! Has the experience caused them to be better Catholics? I'm asking not so much for your personal observations (though I certainly wouldn't avert my eyes), but rather their public Christian witness since this day.

My observation is the women who were on that retreat for the most part are very active in various Parish Ministries. And Father Bernie is a treat. This guy just celebrated his 50th year as a priest. He is about 75 years old and his 99 year old mother lives with him. He's always bringing her to various Parish functions. Also, when he offers Mass, his Mother sits in the front pew and he brings Communion to her. She doesn’t quite get around like she used to:-)
