I am still here!

I have been awfully silent the last couple of months, I know, but I promise to write something more soon! There has been so much going on, with a mission in Ireland in January, a trip to a famous pilgrimage shrine in France in February, visits to the Vatican offices of the Congregation for the Saints and the Congregation where Papa Benedetto used to work, and classes on all sorts of things - Cristology, Moral Theology, the Catechism, the Holy Spirit, Compassion for the poor, etc... One of our fellow students broke her ankle a couple weeks ago, so we're trying to help her get around in crutches and a wheelchair! And this Friday we leave for our final big mission in the Netherlands. Then not long after that we help out with a young adult retreat for the Easter Triduum, then a break for a week, then a week long silent retreat. It never stops! We are so stinking busy! But so much of what we get to do is amazing, that's a really wonderful aspect of the school. I will go into details of everything at another time. Am excited, some of us are going to Orvieto for a day trip tomorrow (a lovely hill town in Umbria!).
