Do As the Romans

All I do is share the photos that Bear has shared with us.

 I know that Bear and Fr. Keller had a good trip.  Bear grew in faith and trust in God.

Fr. Keller had to head back to the states before Bear so he was stranded alone for the day.  He contacted the seminarians from Oklahoma City that are at the Pontifical North American College.

 

These two young men invited Bear to spend the afternoon with them, they showed him the American School Seminary School in Rome and answered a million questions that Bear has about his path.  Seeing these young men was a gift from God.

Bear returns home on Ash Wednesday.

We loved hearing his stories. God is clearly calling him to trust in Him more and more.  So many beautiful stories on this trip.  

Parish Blessings for Pilgrim Trips

Our LifeTeen group had two groups of missionaries leaving on the same day.  One group was heading to Haiti and the other was heading to Europe for World Youth Day.  The Haiti mission trip is very close to our heart because Bear has gone for the past two years.  This year he was heading to World Youth Day in Krakow with about 45 travelers from our parish.  At the end of Mass on Sunday evening the parish offered a blessing to these travelers.  MayGod protect them and show them HIS heart!

Bear was up there in that crowd.  We are so excited for him and yet nervous at the same time.
