“The Lord calls us to get up, to rise at His word, to look up and to realize that we were made for heaven, not for earth, for the heights of life and not for the depths of death.” Pope Francis
This week at Chosen we celebrated Easter! We enjoyed pizza and ice cream cake and, after a short discussion about St Faustina and Divine Mercy Sunday, we spent the remainder of our meeting having fun playing games in and outdoors. Finally, we ended with some time in prayer and took a few pictures with our friend Peter who, now that his studies are finished, will be leaving our Chosen group. May God bless you Peter! We will miss you! Thank you for all you’ve done for us! Students in Gr 5-8 please join us Tuesday evenings from 7-8:30pm at St Mary’s School.
“God sends us friends to be our firm support in the whirlpool of struggle. In the company of friends we will find our strength to obtain our sublime ideal.” St Maximilian Kolbe
