Here At the End of All Things....

After nine months of committing ourselves to God through the SPIRITUS program, team two has officially disbanded.

Here at the end of all things, there is a lot of sadness as we say goodbye to our comrades-at-arms, but we take hope in being together once more in heaven and for all eternity.

As to where we are going, I am happy to say that a "SPIRITUS Alumni" page has been established to keep people informed of how alumni are doing.

Meanwhile, below are some photos from the end of the year:

1) The team's last retreat was in Milwaukee and afterwards they went to a local park to hang-out:

They then stopped off at St. Stanislaus in Milwaukee where they prayed Vespers and took a group photo in the side chapel.

Afterwards, it was dinnertime and the team decided to have a tailgate party.  Paul and Erin had a lot of fun.

Doesn't Erin look slightly Anime in this photo?

2) On May 21st, the team had its end of the year luncheon, Mass and then party:

It was also the day before Erin's 24th birthday so at the luncheon, she received a cake.

The team and their family/guests also got to watch the movie during the luncheon.  The above is an abbreviated version of the ending credits.

For the audience's listening pleasure, Taylor & Sam Foord sang a piece from Phantom of the Opera before the movie was shown.

Then after moving to Mass at St. Bernadette's, there was another cake!!

The team received a certificate at the Mass...

...and a blessing from Fr. Don Zuleger.

PAH-TAY at the Center!  Marissa and her brother Bryce start swing-dancing!

From L-R: Marissa's Aunt, Mother, Father; Mark's Mom and Jenny Kampa (from team one).

The team was also able to have one last hurrah with the Teen Disciples!

 3) The final get-together was at Sunrise restaurant for Brunch in Appleton on May 22nd:

After brunch, everyone meets outside for final plans.

Then came the final goodbye at the Center.  The camera was officially returned by that point and so ended the official documenting of SPIRITUS team two.

It has been a blessing to serve on SPIRITUS. 

Thank you to all of our family, friends, staff, administration and benefactors!
