Caroling

 For the third year in a row we ventured out with the GodTeens to go Christmas caroling.  This year we visited the Pink Sisters.  This was my first year playing guitar by myself... let's just say it was interesting.  :)  We sang, introduced ourselves, & were able to meet the sisters.  They showered us with cookies, punch, & prayers.  We were able to make a visit in their beautiful chapel afterwards, too.

We had our second annual GodTeens Christmas caroling party on Sunday afternoon. We filled up a bus with high schoolers in Santa hats & full of cookies for some pretty enthusiastic singing!

Our group made spiritual bouquets for the retired priests & the sisters that we visited.

It was nicest to meet each one of them & chat a bit. Quite a few characters there!

The Pinks joined right along with us. It was so interesting to hear the many different countries that they were born in & have travelled to while in the convent. For at least half of the GodTeens it was their first time meeting a cloistered nun & I think they were pleasantly surprised!

We made a visit in their perpetual adoration chapel & then headed back for a pizza party of our own.There was a good number of kids & we were lucky to have the majority be our sophomores! We had a lot of fun with them.

It was such a nice afternoon. I hope we get to do it again next year!
