~Your Mission with us at Holy Trinity, Morrisville, PA was no doubt the best Mission experience our parish ever experienced.  The closing Mass of the Holy Spirit was the grande finale - a true spiritual high.  I believe that your presiding made all the difference.  ~

~Thank you! Fr. Cedric, for coming to San Antonio this week. My wife and I have been noticing the rebirth in our lives, especially me. I felt the Holy Spirit's promptings as I have began to "let go" and let God. I hope to meet you someday but I am thankful we went to your retreat.~

~I knew about the mission ahead by I really hadn't planned on attending. Then something happened when you preached on Sunday. All I know is that I just couldn't wait for the next day! For the first time I really felt like there was something I needed to find out. I bought many of your books. Now I wake up with a song in my heart. What a way to wake up!~
