Hear what the SMK Rescue Project Team Says About their Experience!
Courtney L. - The Rescue Project was a lifeline during a devastating time when I had lost loved ones and faced deep grief. Its message of love-God's unconditional love, Jesus' sacrifice, and the support of a caring community-gave me strength. Love, Gospel, Community - that's the Rescue Project.
Peggy F. - I have come to know how deeply God loves us, no matter who or what we are. He sent Jesus to save and rescue us from evil and Satan. I think I took it for granted not realizing what a sacrifice it was for both.
Ryan D. - As newcomers to the parish, I joined The Rescue Project seeking community and found it. The format fostered meaningful connections with others growing in faith, reminding me that my journey is part of something greater. I hope The Rescue Project continues to build a stronger, more connected faith community at SMK.
Larry S. - The Rescue Project gave me a deeper understanding of the Gospel! Fr. John Riccardo presents the readings we have heard over and over again in a different light. Fr. John guided me to a deeper understanding of these familiar readings. This experience has deepened my faith and given me a greater love for my faith, my parish, and my Church!
Rick M. - The Rescue Project was very enlightening. Father John Riccardo takes a very interesting approach to the gospel. The program gives you a sense
of belonging. Bonus! The meals are really good, too!
Linda M. - Looking for something to make you happy? Eager to continue my journey because we've learned something important about ourselves. We Unique in Creation....made in the image and likeness of our Creator. We have learned that the God who made us and loves us beyond measure offers us incredible hope. The Rescue Project will give you this...start your 8 week journey with us.
Judy G. - I thought the program was thought provoking and made a difference in how I looked at Jesus on the cross and how I looked at Jesus in the Eucharist. It was another step in my faith growth.
Mark C. - The Rescue Project transformed my understanding of God's love from a vague concept to a personal, living reality. Its clear teachings and relatable format revealed how deeply God loves us--unconditionally, even in our brokenness. This experience showed me that His Love is real, powerful, and transformative. I am forever grateful.
