"Awesome" Spring Break

"Is God Really There?", talk tonight by Fr. Carter Griffin, 6:30 pm. Fr Griffin is a talented and brilliant priest of the Archdiocese of Washington. A convert to the Catholic faith, he was educated at Princeton and Rome (North American College). He looks forward to tackling the existence of God with GW Catholics and making the case that God is really there.


Last week, 11 of us went down to Charleston, South Carolina for our annual Alternative Spring Break trip. It was an excellent week of service and fun...dare I say awesome! (inside joke with the group). God is awesome and He gave us a week together that was from Him. We fixed up two homes of low-income families and tried to bring joy and friendliness to their homes. The students worked very hard and did more work than the United Methodist Relief Center (which has been rebuilding homes in SC since hurricanes hit there in the 1990s) expected. They were very happy, as were the homeowners.

Four days of work, daily Mass, Adoration, home-cooked meals, minitiature golf, go carts, beach, dinners out, Ladies Night, Man's Night, Mass at the Cathedral (I met Bill Murray!), and adventures in road tripping sums up another great week of GW Catholics spending their spring break serving others.
