I am with the confirmation group from St. Charles. It is my daughter’s retreat and I am a chaperone. We are at Conception Abbey. I have so many great memories in this place! CLICK FOR MORE…
I get challenged right off the bat when we were asked to introduce ourselves. It was a conscience effort to identify myself not by a job or parish because at this point I had neither. CLICK FOR MORE…
I’m looking forward to a lot of little things that will mean a lot…attending Mass at the Basilica, Prayer time at the Grotto, soaking in each moment to capture the experience and allowing God to love on me. CLICK FOR MORE…
