St. Joe's and St. Leo's-- First Night

We left Tacoma in the mid-afternoon and had dinner in Burlington before arriving at Sacred Heart Church in Bellingham. When we got there, we met the youth group from St. Joseph Church in Seattle. We   played some ice breaker games and formed small discussion groups. We learned the seven Corporal Works of Mercy and talked about how we might learn more about them and ourselves this week.

At the beginning I thought this was going to be hard, staying in a place I don't know and being away from home for a week. I might feel like homesick and missing my free time but being here is amazing we get to see a new world under all pressures and life problems. It is like you are breaking free.  This is a beautiful place for reflecting;  watching the movement of the trees and seeing the mountains and Puget Sound from the parish hall . It is amazing!!!.
