Children, Pilgrimages, and Orbs...and orbs..and orbs!

On Monday, April 27th, we set out from St. Johns, MI with a group of a little over 50 people, including 23 children, to tour Sylvan Springs in Rome City, Indiana. We started with a historical tour from Nick and moved onto a "spiritual tour" from Larry, the owner. Having organized a few groups before, I am always curious as to how the first timers are going to react. After Larry's talk we headed outside to tour the grounds. As soon as I stepped outside of the door, I was asked, "How soon can we come back here?" I then headed up to Holy Family Hill and was greeted with a hug from a friend who also asked, "When is the next trip scheduled?" It is always the same thing and everyone who goes to Rome City first has a hard time leaving and secondly, has a hard time not returning!

After our exploration outside, we headed into the large chapel for a talk by my uncle, Irv Kloska. We also said a rosary and asked him to pray over us. One of the members of our group rested in the spirit and had a very spiritual experience while the last person that Irv prayed over also rested in the spirit. When he came out of it, he said that he saw many angels "up there" joyously singing because they were so happy to have all of the children there! They were pleased with the devotion of them. He told us to take pictures of the ceiling. When we started taking pictures we were amazed to see dozens of orbs of light all around us. The presence of God was immense and we have no doubt that we were surrounded by angels!





I would highly recommend that anyone, Catholic or not, visit Sylvan Springs in Rome City. God will touch you wherever you are in your walk with him.



Peace,
