This morning after a wonderful pancake breakfast cooked by Robert Rust we went to Immaculate Conception Cathedral in downtown Camden to do some gardening. A group of students helped play music and sing for a baptism service in the Cathedral. Eleven kids were baptized, and our students accompanied!
After a delicious pizza lunch, we walked as a group to "Tent City", which is an encampment of homeless people off the highway. Over forty people live there in tents. A couple of the residents talked with us and told us their stories.
As I write this (4 PM) a few students play basketball in the backyard. I hear them laughing and cheering. Others are napping, or reading, or snacking. In a few minutes we will start prepping dinner, and then we will have Mass at the house with Fr. McCue. This evening a group will go to Joseph's House Shelter to serve dinner.
I can't believe we come home tomorrow already... time is going quickly.
Everyone is well... the kids have really been wonderful to have here.
Have enjoyed seeing the day-by-day blog! Thank you! What a dedicated group of hard-working kids! Congratulations and thank you to all!
