Cornerstone Testimonials

"I went into Women's Cornerstone not knowing what to expect. I signed up because I was new in town and wanted to meet new people. It was a beautiful weekend filled with beautiful women. I am so grateful for experience and I highly recommend it to anyone."
Joey O'Connell


“I am grateful to Women's Cornerstone for helping me reconnect with my spirituality in recognizing that we are all connected to each other by a power greater than all of us and that through love and compassion and vulnerability to one another our lives become richer.  This amazing group of women has taught me that increased spirituality adds depth to our lives providing new perspectives, new friendships, and new purpose to life that I never considered or imagined. What a remarkable awakening!”
Jan Nagotko

“Women’s Cornerstone, first as a participant and then as a team member, has been a significant blessing in my life, providing me with spiritual guidance, fulfillment and lasting friendship.  The Cornerstone experience is a beautiful gift, allowing me to pause and reflect. It has renewed and strengthened my faith.”
Tammy Whelan


"When first signing up for Cornerstone there was definitely some immediate hesitancy as I did not know what to expect in terms of connecting with others and finding my spirituality. It later became one of the best decisions I ever made and I ended up being a candidate 2x!! I have made some great friendships through this program and as a result have become part of a very special 'brotherhood'".
Erik Palmer

 "I was approached many times to participate in Cornerstone but was always apprehensive because of what I thought it was going to be about.  I was then encouraged by my family and some close friends with the common saying "give it a shot, it's only 24 hours."  It was one of the best 24-hour experiences I’ve ever had in my adult life.  The time to reflect, unwind, reconnect spiritually and meet some amazing men was an experience I will never forget.  I was excited to have the opportunity to join Team 28 so that I can help provide the same unforgettable experience for the next fortunate Cornerstone candidates."
Brandon Silva


"When considering Men's Cornerstone for the first time, I did not think it was for me.  After several friends went through the program, and asked me about participating, I finally decided to give it a try.  Am I ever so glad I did. My experience was one of spirituality, brotherhood and reengaging with God."

What is Cornerstone? 

Cornerstone is an opportunity to renew your faith and grow in your experience of Christian Community. It is ALSO a way to meet others from St. Elizabeths’ and the community in a warm, welcoming environment on both a personal and a spiritual level. Since 1993, over 1,500 men and women have participated in the Cornerstone experience at St. Elizabeth’s. Each will tell you they have grown spiritually and have become more a part of the community because of Cornerstone.

What can I expect Cornerstone to be like?

 A core team of men and women who were St. Elizabeth’s Cornerstone participants in the past will be hosting and leading Cornerstone.  Each team member will offer his or her abilities in various ways. Some team members will give talks on selected themes or lead small group discussions. Others will plan liturgy and music. And still others will arrange for your meals and accommodations. All team members will be dedicated to ensuring an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality.
