"Thank you for providing the scholarship to the School of Missionary Disciples. My experience during my first year has been wonderful. My faith has grown so much more in such a short time. I enjoy learning more depth about how the scripture stories were written and each one's different perspective. I look forward to the upcoming retreat weekend and growing my faith more next year." -Kim

"We are very grateful for this opportunity and will share what we have learned. " -Marvin and Blanca:
“The experience of learning through the School of Missionary Disciples was very helpful in filling in the blanks of my knowledge and understanding of the Catholic Church, my faith and the Bible. I have a lot of religious "tools" in my spiritual toolbox. It has also been beneficial in my position as catechetical leader for my parish”. With God's grace, Deneen
“I want to sincerely thank THE BARBARA KRETOWSKI MEMORIAL FUND for my scholarship to attend the DRVC School of Missionary Disciples. I have been a catechist in the Religious Formation Program at St. Frances Cabrini Church in Coram, NY for 17 years. I value education and was so grateful to receive this opportunity to increase my knowledge in scripture as well as enhance my faith and spiritual life”. - Barbara
