Hello, my name is Alyson Schratz, a second year return college counselor and junior from St.Vincent College…
It is my pleasure to recount for all your reading enjoyment what we did today…Sunday July 31st day six of all us college counselors being together. Which I must say has been amazing and awesome so far…
This morning we drove to Baden, Pa to the motherhouse of the Sisters of St. Joseph to attend Sunday Mass, Swim at the pool, and enjoy an outdoor picnic with Sisters Barbra and Jeanette and Marcia Snowden. If you’ve never been to Baden let me describe it in one word…Peaceful… totally Peaceful. This was also very evident as our group walked the Labyrinth for our nightly prayer. The chapel in which the mass was held is my favorite by far… The most beautiful one I have ever seen. Everything about Baden from the sisters to the nature outside is pure peace. Everyone enjoyed the company of the sisters while playing some super fun BINGO! It was so funny to see the winners react and to see everyone having a blast. Another funny note, while our group was walking the labyrinth, this peace was disrupted when a rooster from nearby crowed and the proceeded to creep up on us then ran away. This Rooster obviously didn’t get the memo that it was not the AM. This little occurrence provided many laughs on the car ride home. And now as I sit here writing we are putting the final touches on tomorrow’s lessons. We are all so excited to start camp tomorrow and we couldn’t be happier with what we have in store for this week.
