Happy Friday! Another morning was spent at
Eucharistic adoration, rosary and Mass at St. Mary’s in Menasha. After Mass,
breakfast and Morning Prayer, we headed to a local coffee shop in Neenah,
Shellattes, for our weekly book discussion. We read a book together as a team
and get together once a week to discuss any insights we have gained from the
book. Right now we are reading, “Interior Freedom,” by Jacques Philippe. Along
with formation on Thursdays, having book discussion is a great way for us to
make sure we are spiritually fed. When we give so much on retreats, it is
important for us to make sure that our spiritual life is still being nourished.
The rest of my afternoon was filled with youth
ministry! Every Friday afternoon from three to five we have a Drop-In for
middle school students at St. Patrick’s in Menasha. At Drop-In we pray, eat
snacks, do activities, plays games, and learn about aspects of the Catholic
faith while having a ton of fun! This week the theme of our Drop-In was
Sunday’s Gospel about being “fishers of men.” We talked about our need to
spread Jesus’ message to others, sang a song about fishing and did a fishing
relay race. The students seemed like they had a blast and I know the SPIRITUS
team did!
As we arrived back to Mount Tabor after Drop-In, we
had a quick team dinner together because there was a retreat later that night.
A group of Confirmation students from Fond du Lac were on retreat with us from
Friday night until Saturday night. Half of our team was on this retreat and
they told me that the retreat was awesome!! I was not on this retreat but
instead was on other retreats during the weekend.
