One of the many blessings of working with 12 parishes is
that we have the opportunity to attend many Masses. Two of the parishes have
Mass Saturday nights so half our team attends Mass at St. George and the other
half attends Mass at l’Assomption. We are also hoping to be present in every
parish during the month of October to introduce NET a little bit so every
Sunday we split into three groups in order to attend three different Masses! It’s
been really great so far to get to see the parishes and familiarise ourselves a
bit in our new home.
Our events also started this week! Our first event was a
sports night Wednesday night and we had about 17 youth come out to play
Ultimate Frisbee with us in St. Côme. We played Frisbee for about an hour with
them and then we all ate our bagged suppers together and hung out for another
hour or so. The weather was great that day and it was really nice to have the
opportunity to just hang out with the youth here and get to know them a little
bit. 
Friday night was our first night for the senior youth group and
we played ‘Minute To Win It’, which is a game that consists of different
challenges to be completed within a 60 second time limit. Some of the
challenges were harder than others, and some were just plain wacky, such as
moving an Oreo from their foreheads to their mouths using only the muscles in
their faces. We had a great turnout for the first night and everyone had lots
of fun!
We also got to celebrate Paul’s ‘Unbirthday’ this week! We spent
the day Thursday in Old Québec and had a photo scavenger hunt that was super
fun and exciting!
Until next time,
