“Being on the Catholic Outreach Team taught me how to use my time well. Also, through the practice of sacrificing my time, whether I felt like it or not, I became a more generous person. I felt like I was being stretched beyond my comfort zone in a lot of situations and I am far better for it. I found that I could have more joy in life even in those times that I didn’t want to take part in an activity or event.”

“Outreach was for me – hands down – the best decision of my life! It changed me for the better in more ways than I can count. By the end of the 9-month program I left with so much more knowledge of self, love for God and zeal than I had at the beginning. It was a deeply enriching experience of the Catholic faith and I will never regret it!”

“Being part of the Outreach Team helped me get over being shy around other people. I enjoyed personal prayer time, team prayer, preparing skits for retreats, attending workshops that helped us prepare for ministry and being in a place of love where I could openly share my faith with others. My faith grew and I’m so grateful that the Lord called me to be on Team!”

“The Outreach Team program helped me step out of my comfort zone and through that I learned more about myself. I learned to see the gifts and talents that God had given me and began to actually use them. It also challenged me to be more authentic with my faith and I realized how important it is to have a relationship with God, not just on Sundays, but every day. Being on Team greatly impacted me in so many ways and was one of the most rewarding 9-month experiences of my life.”

“Going to the CSE was one of the best choices I ever made! It allowed me to learn how to put others before myself and I was able to draw closer to Christ and allow him to guide my life. This is how I strive to live now, even though my 9-month experience is over.”

My experience on Team was life-changing. It helped me see my giftedness and heal from my brokenness. It allowed me to create life-long friendships and to deepen my relationship with Christ. As the days and weeks went on, I felt like I became more and more comfortable with who I am and I now understand more who God is calling me to be.

My year on the Outreach Team was a time of blessing and of growth. Through it, God taught me so much about myself and about his holy church. Being on team allowed me to be close to Jesus' presence in the Eucharist at all times, and brought me two of my best friends. If God is calling you to Outreach, answer, you will never regret it!"

“My year on Outreach taught me so much about myself and about healthy relationships with friends and co-workers. Years later I continue to apply what I learned on Outreach to my day-to-day living at work and at home, with friends and with family. It was an unforgettable experience and truly life-changing!”
