 Guest Comments
If it weren't for St. Herman's
and the donations of its volunteers, I would be dead. St. Herman's and Fr. John Henry saved my life and are helping me
get my life back on track.
I was at odds-end with my life. I needed help. I found
that help at St. Herman's. I found strength within myself. I found spiritual encouragement to move with life and not against
it.
My Christmas was blessed. I have spent more than half
of my life high on drugs, but this Christmas I had a chance to be sober. St. Herman's gave me what is to be a personal
tradition with me, "SOBRIETY" on Christmas. St. Herman's made it possible.
Since
my stay here at St. Herman's, I have been taught so much about religion, sobriety and faith in one's self and the
Lord. It shows in my appearance and in my actions. The kindness and hospitality of their working guests is unbelieveable.
I'm able to shower every day, change clothes, have a good hot meal three times a day and go to AA meetings twice a week.
I am very grateful to St. Herman's.
My stay at St. Herman's. It was a time
to worship and learn more about the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. It changed my life.
