I went to mass, and then up to Capuchin Youth and Family Ministries for an interview and overnight visit. The current volunteers couldn’t have been more welcoming. After my tour of the retreat house grounds, and the Red House, we all had dinner and prayed evening prayer. Later on we watched The Office and they all let me pick their brain about the programs.

Wednesday May 20, 2015

I went to mass with the community, and then went back to the retreat center for my interview. I’ll be writing a separate blog post about my visit, my decision, and the program itself. But, they asked me to join them for the upcoming year!
