Taking Advantage of Winter!

It’s been another busy week full of blessings here in Beauce!

We had the opportunity to put on an Encounter Day retreat this past weekend for a group of our youth as well as a group that drove out from Terrebonne. Altogether there were about 40 youth that took part, and we were able to spend time getting to know them better during small groups, while playing games outside, and over meal times. It was also a chance for the teens from two different areas of Quebec to connect and discover new friendships. The retreat was followed by an evening celebrating the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple with music and a candle procession, and the team did a skit to correspond with the Gospel reading.
 
We also had a senior youth group devoted to prayer, where we split into 3 groups and had workshops to learn about various forms of prayer.  Each workshop included a mini talk, some discussion, and time to pray. The youth seemed to really enjoy the night, and it was cool to see them asking questions and genuinely curious about the topic.

Team Day this week was extra special as we celebrated Katelyn’s ‘Unbirthday’ by going to Quebec City for the Carnival! It was a great afternoon full of ice fishing, tubing, delicious snacks, and getting to meet the famous Bonhomme. Quebec is proving to us that there is plenty of fun to be had, even in the cold winter temperatures!

God bless,
