Led By The Spirit - Called to be Women of Grace

	Name: Helene Biller Parish: Our Lady of Loreto - Foxfield, CO I attended my first Led by The Sprit retreat in January, 2011. During the retreat I prayed to the Holy Spirit for guidance and direction, so that I would recognize the path that He wanted me to be on and that the doors that He wanted to open for me would be opened. So when I was asked to be a part of the retreat team I felt that the Holy Spirit was giving me the guidance I had prayed for. I am delighted to be a part of this ministry and I look forward to meeting other women on their faith journeys.
	Name: Sylvia Gerlach Parish: Our Lady of Loreto - Foxfield, CO I went on my first retreat in 1985 in Houston, Texas. I had such a deep spiritual experience which made me realize that God was calling me to enter into a deeper relationship with Him. I committed myself to attending yearly retreats. In 1995 when the opportunity was presented to me to help plan retreats for women, I felt called to help other women to grow in their faith and to grow in their relationship with our Lord. It is such a blessing to me to be that instrument that the Lord uses to bring my sisters in Christ into a deeper relationship with Him.
	Name: Monica Hernandez Parish: Our Lady of Loreto - Foxfield, CO My name is Monica Hernandez and I attend Our Lady of Loreto Catholic church in Foxfield, Colorado. In my own walk with our Lord I have witnessed God's healing love and His great desire to be in relationship with us. Throughout my life I have felt led to encourage others in their faith and relationship with God.
	Name: Jeanine Quintero Parish: St. Thomas More - Centennial, CO I love praising our Lord in song, it is my most favorite way to pray. Being part of the Led by the Spirit team has helped me share that joy with others. I pray that our music has ministered to the ladies who have attended our retreats and helped them grow in a deeper relationship with God. When we sing we pray twice!
	Name: Natalie Roderick Parish: Our Lady of Loreto - Foxfield, CO Being part of Led By the Spirit Ministries has been such a blessing in my life. Not only have I been able to continue to grow in my faith, but also have been able to associate with other strong Cathlolic women of all ages. It's beautiful to see how the Holy Spirit is present in the planning of each retreat, as well as during the retreats, touching the lives of all the wonderful women who attend.
	Name: Barbie Walker Parish: St. Mary's - Littleton, CO After speaking on two LBTS retreats I was delighted to join the leadership team. It is a joy to spend time with women who truly love Christ and His Church. These retreats are truly life changing because they provide an opportunity for women to get away from their day to day lives and re-center themselves on Jesus.
	Name: Paulette White Parish: St. Michael the Archangel - Aurora, CO Ever since Led by the Spirit Ministries began offering retreats in 1994, I have attended all but a couple of them. It was strongly evident from the beginning how much love, devotion and planning efforts were made by Monica and Sylvia. I was awed by how profoundly most of us were touched and our faith deepened through these spiritual encounters with our Lord Jesus. I felt drawn to become more involved with the planning team, so early in 2003 I volunteered as their bookkeeper. It has been very fulfilling to be a part of this Holy Spirit-led ministry and if it be God's will, my involvement will continue for a long time.
