Confirmation Personal Retreat

Today we hosted a group of seniors from Creighton University for their end of the year retreat. Leela made an exquisite lunch for them, and the Lord provided sunshine for their prayer and play!

Bob Zaruba, from the Green Team worked on the new staircase he designed and finished a few projects, in addition he shared his faith with a confirmation student who came to do a personal retreat and some time of service. This is the second time this year that we offered the opportunity for a student to make a personal retreat by meeting members, hearing their faith stories (like Bob's) and offer service while doing it! Leela worked with this student in the kitchen, so while he buttered garlic bread, she told her faith story. Anne shared her story in the Pro Sanctity Office and I pulled weeds with him and visited about the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the garden! In the end, he went to the chapel to speak with Jesus and write a little reflection on his confirmation retreat day. It is a great little format for students and we see the results of faith built up in the student and joy received by all!

Princess our camp dog waited for him to visit with her, throw a stick and share faith, but time ran out... poor Princess, she has so many sticks to share!
