Thursday August 10, 2006

This morning, we woke up and ate breakfast and St. Colette’s planned the prayer for the group today. We all went up to the chapel and said morning prayer together. It was planned by Dan, Christina, Megan and Tessa. The theme was change. Through 2 songs, they taught us that we should make peace between one another and learn to get along. We had a moment of silence in memory of and to pray for the troubled times that Ireland is going through right now. After prayer, we all got on the bus and headed for the Northern Coast of Ireland. We learned American, German and Irish songs with lots of hand motions. After about an hour on the bus, we drove up a hill to a school in northern Ireland where every student must drive to, to be able to attend. After that we stopped along the way at a few places to take pictures and stretch our legs. The BEST PLACE so far was the Giant Causeway.

Beth Menestrina

The Causeway was a fantastic place to spend some time together on the water. Most of us climbed on the rocks and enjoyed the great landscape! Some of us walked up 162 steps after walking along a beautiful hill. We are off to a bbq now hosted by a local priest. (He just celebrated mass with us at Star of the Sea Church – Port Stewart.) More will come later. You would all love it here. We are thinking of you, and are keeping you in our prayers.
