Week 2: St. Catherine of Siena- Thursday

Aidan Rubio

Today was Celebration Day after a long week of work. First, we did the usual but we then did the Rosary in the morning and then we headed out for Church at Assumption. The church was beautiful and then we went back to Sacred heart to get all of our stuff ready for swimming. We swam for awhile and then went straight to Sunrise for a barbeque and some games, we played sprout ball and had dinner with our buddies and played for a little longer before we had to leave. It was sad to leave them because of all the fun we had over the week, so we took some pictures and said our goodbyes. We came home expecting to go to bed pretty early but were surprised by ice cream and a dance party. We are going to bed pretty soon so we can be ready to pack up our stuff and go home.

Today was a fun but impactful day at Agape. We woke up at seven thirty to eat breakfast. Next as we sat down for morning reflection we were given Rosaries to pray. After praying the Rosary we finished morning reflection and began to set up to watch a film on some of the migrant workers. We continued our day by going to  Assumption Church for mass. When we arrived at Assumption we were supprised to see that they were having a funeral. We continued to go to mass anyway and we paid respect to the dead. In doing this we remembered the Corporal Work of Mercy, Bury the Dead. We came back to Sacred Heart after mass to have lunch. After lunch we finished preparing to go swimming. We went swimming at the Arne Hana Aquatic Center. We had lots of fun using the diving board even though we couldn't enter the hot tub. After swimming we packed up to go to Sunrise to play with the kids and enjoy a barbeque. When we got to Sunrise to play with the kids a seven year old named Junior asked us if we wanted to play Sprout Ball. After playing sprout ball for a little bit. I made friends with a little boy named Juanito. He became my buddy for the rest of the night until a gave some one else a piggy back ride. He became my friend again at dinner time and was super sad when I told him I had to leave. But before we left we got a picture with the migrant kids. When we got back to Sacred Heart we were surprised with a ice cream party. after that we did some word puzzles and then went to bed.
