We would like to welcome you in reading the first blog of the St Ignatius Reach Team.  Our team consists of Jacob Robillard from Grandview, WA, Theresa Hillock from Peshastin, WA, Eli Padgett from Heart Butte, MT and Michelle Barton from Vista, CA.  We have had some great times getting to know each other as a team since the beginning of the year some of which  involved pudding fights and even going camping with the other two teams.  We also went on a team scavenger hunt and took our team mascot for the night along with us, our dog named Mo.

After training was over our team got the chance to go to Coeur d’Alene, ID and participate in a college retreat and even got to see former Reach member Nick Schram.  After returning our team joined the St Dominic team and Alaina and got to spend some time at the fair recreating training moments in a classroom, the boys even got the chance to play house in the children’s kitchen. The next day our team had a men’s and women’s session for the day and while the boys were chopping wood Theresa and Michelle spent some time with Jake’s sister Jill and baked massive amounts of cookies, and surprised the boys with them once they returned back to the center.

We are now getting ready to head off to help in leading the Yakima Diocesan Youth Conference featuring Tim Staples. We thank you for all your prayers and support and look forward to having some more adventures.

God Bless,

St. Ignatius
