So Listen...

Hey everyone! This is Adele Costanza and Riane McCallum reporting from team two!

We on team two have enjoyed a great week! It began in Kitchener, ON. After a very restful day spent at Our Lady of the Seven Sorrows in downtown Kitchener, we moved on to Victoria Harbour to do a retreat for grade eight students. They were a great group, and the day was awesome! That night, we made our way to Stratford, ON, home of Katie Doyle! All of us girls went to Katie's home for dinner, followed by a night with a local evangelization team. It was really cool to be a part of what Katie used to do.

We had one more retreat this week, in Whitby, ON. The entire day was great, but the prayer ministry was really powerful. The Holy Spirit was definitely on the move. Praise God! That night we moved to Bolton, ON, and participated in their "Edge" program! It was awesome! The night was filled with excellent music, a great talk, small groups, and prayer. The best part was that the night ended with an hour in front of the Blessed Sacrament! It was really sweet to see grade 6, 7 & 8's so involved with their faith!

Saturday was spent with the team! We started off with mens and womens session, and for our womens session we exercised to a work-out video. We learned some sweet moves, such as "The Grapevine" and we were able to add our own dance flair! While we were working out, the men went for a scenic walk on the local river. Later, we met up and praised God in team prayer! We finished off the day with the parish youth group, and joined them in their Life Teen Mass and activities after wards. We were able to hear a great talk on Lent, and had some time to reflect on the upcoming season.

Sunday was our favorite day of the week! We are very close to Paul's hometown of Aurora, ON. We thought it would be fun to surprise Paul with a visit to his home for lunch! Paul had absolutely no idea that this was occurring, and as we drew closer to his house, he began saying things like, "We are literally ten minutes from my house," and "If you turn left here, you will be at my house." He finally asked Trevor "Where are we going, anyways?" Trevor replied, "I know of this really great place for lunch!" When we arrived at his house, Paul had a great reunion, and we all enjoyed a wonderful afternoon with the Taylor family!

Last, but certainly not least....HAPPY UN-BIRTHDAY JACOB AULTMAN! We celebrated Jacob's unbirthday ( for peoples birthdays that don't fall within the NET year,) by watching his favorite game - football! We all piled into the parish rectory, ordered a few pizzas, had some wings, and watched the Superbowl! Although both of us had pretty much no idea what was going on, it was still fun to watch and experience. Go Saints Go!

That's all from this week! God bless you all! We luh yu!
