Off To Maryvale

We're nearly at the end of September already but I still feel like I haven't got back into the swing of things.
I think I must be one of those people who need a million things happening all at once otherwise I just can't get motivated.
Mrs Lovingit and myself have enrolled in the Maryvale Certificate in Catechises course.
We're heading off tomorrow night down to Birmingham, leaving the Youth club in the hands of Mr Lovingit and Sr Brenda.
My Mum is very kindly letting me use her car. I think my parents don't believe my little green tractor would make it to Birmingham. That means Dad will be using my car, I don't know who to fear for most; Dad or the car!

Padre Pio

"The life of a Christian is nothing but a perpetual struggle against self; there is no flowering of the soul to the beauty of its perfection except at the price of pain" ( Padre Pio).

Back to Life

Just managed to survive the first night back at youth club.
It never quite goes how you plan it to go, but I think all in all the first night back wasn't too bad.
We had a screen set up so we could see the Pope in Paris. The kids watched his address of the young people. Although I missed most of it as I was in the kitchen.
