We're back! Hope you all had a blessed and relaxing Spring Break. CCMers safely returned from a great trip to the Florida panhandle for a mission trip on Saturday night. The trip lasted from March 12 - 19th. We want to thank Fr. Collins and Fr. Jones for their hospitality during our stays at their parishes as well as the generosity of their parishioners. While at Holy Cross Parish we were able to assist in clearing the property of sticks and straw, especially around the outdoor Stations of the Cross as well as clean one of the Marian grottos. Then while at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish we were able to paint the interior of the church to put the finishing touches on the months of renovations the parish has undergone. Time was spent working hard and praying in Adoration and daily Mass and spending our final day in Florida at St. George Island where we saw some amazing wildlife such as dolphins and lots of seagulls. It was all a great experience! Here are some pictures from the trip:
