"I have to tell you the week spent at Catholic Familyland this summer has reminded me of the beauty in Catholicism and the gift given in the Eucharist and how very blessed we are to be part of it. Thank you, to the staff and all those who contribute to making the world a better place by providing opportunities like this to grow closer to Christ and the family. I struggled the first couple of days with the heat and, to be honest, I am not a camper, but the holiness I found at this place was a gift I will never forget. I went home and appreciated all that God has given me, in a new light, things I may have taken for granted before are now counted as a blessing. I truly hope to enlighten others to visit this beautiful place and I look forward to the opportunity to return with my family!!!" -Theresa If you are wanting your family to be a part of this wonderful experience this summer, you can register here:https://afc.org/catholic-family-vacation/ #cfl #holyfamilyfest #fun #summer #testimony
