Quick Check-In

Hello Everyone!!!

Just a quick check-in at 1am in the morning here in Barcelona!

World Youth Day officially ended today (with the Pope conferring his blessings on us and announcing that the next WYD will be in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil in 2013!). The last leg of our journey to Spain begins today, and we are all incredibly excited to explore this amazing city, relax, sleep in beds, have regular access to showers, and spend some good quality time together. We also hope to visit a few more special places in the history of St. Ignatius, including Manresa, Monserrat, and the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Mar (where Ignatius begged for alms on his journey to the Holy Land). All in all, it promises to be a wonderful couple of days before we head back home to NY on Thursday.

Many of us will be updating in the coming days, especially in regards to our WYD experiences, seeing the Pope, and reflecting on the Papal message, so stay tuned! But for now, buenas noches and thanks for your prayers!
