Catch the Spirit of Cornerstone
"Cornerstone weekend helped me reflect and experience how our faith is deeply intertwined with our daily lives." Paul Kazanecki
What is Cornerstone?Have you ever had the feeling that life is going by too fast? Did you ever wish you could stop the world for a day, catch your breath and have a chance to reflect on what's really important in your life? Cornerstone will provide just that ... offering you the opportunity to strengthen your faith, come closer to Christ, and grow in a Christian community. During Cornerstone you will have the opportunity to meet and interact with others in a warm, welcome environment. This is a one-time experience. No one attends Cornerstone twice, which makes it a unique experience for everyone. ~ "Cornerstone is putting life on "pause" for 27 hours and letting the spirit in." Maria Brockmeier
~ Who conducts Cornerstone?A team of men and women who have attended a past Cornerstone experience at St. Peter's offers their talents in various ways. Some team members give presentations on selected themes or lead small group discussions. Others plan liturgy, music, meals and accommodations ... all of them dedicated to ensuring an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality. ~
"Cornerstone for me changed strangers into men, men into friends and friends into brothers." Tony DiBisceglie
~ What can you expect?Cornerstone activities begin on Friday at 7:00 p.m. and end on Saturday at 10:00 p.m. You'll stay overnight at St. Peter's Parish Center. You'll want for nothing. All you need to bring is an open mind and a willing heart. The presentations will be followed by small group discussions. There will be opportunity for personal reflection, reconciliation and Eucharist. You will also have time to get to know the people who are sharing this experience with you. Since 1996, over 700 men and women have participated in the Cornerstone experience. People from all walks of life have sought this opportunity to gain a greater understanding of themselves and what is means to be part of a Christian community. After their experience, most feel that they have grown spiritually, come closer to the Lord, and developed a greater connection to St. Peter's community. Give yourself this gift of time. You deserve it. ~
"My Cornerstone experience was more than I expected it to be or could have ever hoped it would be. The Spirit did embrace me that weekend and I hope to never lose that feeling." Cindy Osterlof
