Travel Insurance and Other Preparations

Hey guys,
Hope the last two weeks have productive and entertaining! Back at HQ we have been wrestling with tertiary study and other demands on our time. Last Sunday St. Theresa’s Youth Group, where I am part of an awesome, up-beat team of youth leaders, had its first meeting for 2011. It was really great to see so many people with so many fantastic ideas for youth events this year! I look forward to all the shenanigans that are sure to arise. For more information about joining Youth Group find us on Facebook.

In Foxton Catherine has been preparing her luggage for our pilgrimage. Don’t worry, she hasn’t packed just yet! Instead she has brought an awesome set of luggage that is sturdy and big enough to carry all the souvenirs and shoes it needs to come August and September. We have also been preparing by buying travel insurance. The magnitude of WYD is becoming so much more real the more practical travel preparations we make! As part of our spiritual preparation we are also in the midst of meeting with the Internship Program overseer, Sean and other interns of the area.

Finally, in fundraising news, we received a very generous and heartwarming anonymous donation last Sunday, and we would like to thank this person, or people, profusely for their financial help. As we gear up to the Golf Tournament coming up on the 8^th of May (for more information or to register please contact us at st.marys.youthleaders@gmail.com ) we are continually overwhelmed by the generosity of the local businesses of the Foxton/Shannon area. The list of amazing prizes is growing so make sure you register to be in to win!

However, we would like to especially thank all the people that have been praying for Catherine and I in our preparation for WYD11.  Your spiritual support and blessing are enormously appreciated!

Until next fortnight!,

God bless,

Catherine and Kealagh out.
