“One virtue that I've made a great deal of growth in at Piermont is courage! It's not easy to ask someone to marry you - but when you see the example of men who live their faith boldly every day, fear of being rejected has much less of a hold on you. I feel more prepared to live my own faith proudly and pass that virtue of courage on to my children.“
-John
“The opportunity to do fifteen minutes of hard cleaning after dinner each night, the joyful celebrations we have on a saint’s feast day or on a house member’s birthday, the various impromptu moments to claim responsibility for some household task, and the warm house dinners each night, which serve as wonderful opportunities to invite new people and welcome those who are strangers: all of these opportunities which come with living in the Piermont house have shown me what it looks like to reclaim home and family life in time and a city where fast-paced workaholism is rampant. Furthermore, opportunities such as these have taught me how to live holiness and excellence in the most difficult setting to consistently do so— daily life.”
