What is REBOOT! ?

What People Are Saying About REBOOT!

  • Thank you. Thank you! My husband and I were talking about divorce. Tonight, he apologized and told me he wants to start over. You saved my marriage tonight!
  • My son’s been away from the Church for years – he just told me he’s ready to start talking about being Catholic again.
  • Heck, I’m Protestant and I know about this guy – this guy rocks! Me and a few of my Lutheran friends will be there for sure.
  • Never felt so proud to be a Catholic as I did last night!
  • We haven’t felt this joy-filled leaving the church in a very long time. Phenomenal!
  • I have new things to think about. New things I want to think about. Chris touched – and touched me – on every aspect of life. From marriage, parenting, Mass, Eucharist, death, hope . . . the list goes on. Wonderful!
  • I cried my eyes out last night as the message I heard was meant for me, and all my past problems.
  • We can’t believe it. We had a man at the event last week who was invited by a friend: he hasn’t
    been to Church in 50 years. I saw him at Mass yesterday. He told me he is so grateful for the event because it finally opened his heart to God. It is just like you said: he just needed an invitation to the right thing.
  • Thank-you so much: it was moving in the deepest part of my soul. You really helped me recognize
    how far away I am from having the kind of relationship with Jesus I am yearning for. Thank you for inspiring me to reach for more!
  • I would like to share some news about my middle daughter who attended REBOOT! with me a few months ago.  On the way home that night, she told me it was the first time she ever truly heard the message of the Gospel and Catholicism.  We had a great conversation on the way home, and since then I see a real openness and receptivity I have not seen before. She attended Catholic schools, religious ed and has had many Catholic influences . . . so even though she had heard these things, what Chris said truly penetrated her mind and heart in a way nothing had before.  Since then she has started attending Mass with me again. I am so happy.  I am thrilled about this and owe Chris a HUGE thank you in making this difference for her!
