Our Betania Friends

In November 2011 we hosted a fantastic retreat on the life of the Servant of God, Maria Esperanza. Many of her family members, including her husband, traveled to Vandalia to speak with us about their mother's life and spirituality. What a joyful and blessed weekend we had with our new friends!
