The Spiritus mission is awesome..Every fall a group of young men and women gather together at the center for a1 yr commitment to serve our local parishes by giving retreat opportunities to students of all ages. They allow the Holy Spirit to work through them..it is very rewarding to watch the missionaries grow in their faith as well as the Parish communities . They are very inspirational to all.
I love Mount Tabor. It's a place that you can go to and share your Faith with no judgement. The speakers they have every month are SO rewarding and the SPIRITUS group who work with children/ young adults have impacted many of their lives. I know this because I have witnessed it.
I have been involved with SPIRITUS and Mount Tabor Center for over 9 years and am continuously amazed at the transformation that I have seen in the Catholic youth and adults through the years. The SPIRITUS Missionaries love for the Lord sparks the faith in others and illuminates a room with the fire of the Holy Spirit. The missionaries are genuine, joyful, humble and serving. I am grateful to have Mount Tabor Center and SPIRITUS in our community as a solid example of how to live out the Catholic Faith.
Only once do I know of, someone taking 12 total strangers from different regions of the country, melding them into one cohesive unit, teaching and instilling in them the beauty of the faith and love of Jesus Christ, and then sending them forth fully equipped, as were the disciples of Christ, to all parts of Wisconsin and beyond…..and they have done it over and over and over again for the past 14 years! I truly am in awe of what they do. Eden and Katherine are a marvel and committed to what they do.
The Mount Tabor Center is by far my favorite non profit charity. During COVI they invested in the technology to provide live interactive retreat to youth that no one else was providing. Keep in mind this was with little fore knowledge of how to do the techie stuff and they succeeded greatly providing students with faith filled learning experience while everyone else was shut down. This is a great entrepreneurial organization!
Mount Tabor has a clear mission and very effectively with its many programs reaches its goal bringing many youth closer to the LORD. Many of todays youth are troubled and lost and SPIRITUS reaches them and changes their lives. At the same time with the training, spiritual guidance and prayer life the SPIRITUS missionaries experience they are equipped to pursue ministry in parishes and many have gone on to religious live as priests or sisters.
I have been involved with Mount Tabor for the last 10+ years as a member of their Development Team. I am so inspired by the mission of this organization and impressed with the Leadership. Pray we can extend this model to all 50 states.
Mount Tabor's spiritual influence on our current culture is causing a positive change for youth and adults. The energy that the missionaries have during retreats is heartfelt in sharing their wisdom. We just can't get enough of this message. I am a donor and a member of the Development board.
Having served for several years as both a volunteer and board member, I continue to be impressed with the impact this organization is having on our youth. The students that our missionaries are interacting with through retreats and other activities is obviously having a positive influence. In addition, the missionaries themselves are being impacted as evidenced by how so many of them go on to pursue religious life, or careers in parish life.
Super great and Christ-filled organization. The team is great, the facility is pretty cool, and the staff is really accomodating!
