HELLO!!!!!

God Bless you all!

Martha Lopez here with a few updates from the St. Benedict Team.  To tell you all the latest, I might have mentioned in the previous blog about the retreat we were about to have in Tacoma, Washington.  Well, about that trip, the retreat up there was, Fantastic, It was a Confirmation Retreat and we had about 45 youth attending.  We made our way over Saturday morning and started off the retreat with Mass at St. Patrick’s parish. And yes, Four leaf clovers were definitely present at this church. Soon we went into dinner and than got Started for the rest of the night.   Personalities ranged from outgoing, to quiet and observant, to really funny, or just plain energetic. energy levels were everywhere. The Team did Ice Breakers, Testimonies, praise and worship, and at the end of the night the kids got the opportunity to do some Q&A with their youth leader, it was interesting for us (St. Benedict Team) to hear the Questions the youth of our day had, and it definitely helped to know where they stood with their faith.  That next day we went straight into content, Confirmation Talk, Prayer talks, small groups, P&W, and just listening to God.    All in all, the retreat was a blast to put on, of course challenging, but definitely a Blast.

Now to the present, Our team has been at the center now chillin with some serious REACH villains……….ST. Dom and the ST. Iggy Team.  We have been around the Community here in Yakima, Washington having dinner with Families as teams and hanging around the Center Waiting and Prepping for the upcoming Retreats and recruiting that will be going on. Recently The Teams just went to a free Thirsting Concert (Catholic Band)  in the Tri-Cities Washington and got to meet and take pictures with them, which was very bomb diggity of them, yea……i just said bomb diggity. but anywho, here are a few pictures of the St. Ben Team in canada and Dry Falls on our way to Canada………………and last but not least, the REACH team with The Thirsting
