Finally a retreat day! Our weekends usually consist
of retreats and today was no exception. Karissa, Julie, Robbie and Kate were
still on retreat with the Fond du Lac crew from the night before and since
there retreat was an overnight retreat they really got to connect with the
students. While their retreat was still rocking, we had a retreat for 9th
through 11th graders at Saint Katharine Drexel in Kaukauna. I headed to
Kaukauna with Callie, Aaron and Michael to spend the afternoon and evening with
eleven students. Although they were a quiet group we had an awesome time
together and I think they learned a little bit about our faith life as a
journey. I was lucky enough to talk to the students a little bit about
forgiveness which is a topic that is near and dear to my heart. But I have to
say that the best part of the whole retreat for me was the fact that all the
students went to Sacrament of Reconciliation and received the mercy and love of
Jesus in the unique and personal way that is only found in the confessional. Overall,
it was a great experience in Kaukauna filled with movie clips, discussions
about faith, confession, pizza and ice cream! The retreat ended late so after
the retreat we all headed straight to bed.
