What do I remember best about CCM?

I remember insightful conversations at Thursday night dinners, good friendships with other CCMers during my college days, and nurturing a belief that God is always present in my life and always will be. I also remember fun trips on Encounter and Springbreak, which bring back wonderful memories of bonding with other students and fellowship. 

I also remember free dinners after Mass, which gave me a motivation to want to go to church on Sundays (smile)!
