Last weekend

Hey all!  I just wanted to write about how last weekend went.

February 16
Friday night was a pretty good night for the most part. Theresa and I ended up meeting at Memorial parking lot around 6 and carpooled to Queen of Peace for the soup dinner and Stations. I saw Mrs. Pierce, 3 people from RCIA (Anne, Tina, and Ruth), and we also saw Katie. We went over to sit with her and she introduced us to her uncle and cousin (since they were at the same table) and then pretty soon Donald, Maureen, and Steve showed up. After Stations Theresa, Katie, Maureen, and I ended up talking for a while (we were some of the last ones in Church, lol).
Tomorrow is the Rite of Election & Call to Continuing Conversion at the Cathedral (it starts at 2:30 but we have to be there by 2 since it's going to be packed). Oh and this morning I saw Fr. Bob...he asked me if I liked spiders and of course I said no. He said, "okay I was just wondering because there's one over there (he pointed). I told him I could kill it but he wanted someone to take it out - not kill it....ya there was no way I was going to touch a spider!

Sunday Theresa and I met up and carpooled to the Cathedral. Since I'm not a sponsor I had to sit in an unreserved spot (there weren't many pews unreseved but luckily we got there really early so we were some of the first ones there). I looked across the aisle and I noticed that the reserved seats were for Queen of Peace (i found it funny the first random pew I chose was across from the Queen of Peace candidates). Carol saw me about 10 minutes before the Rite started and told me she needed my help. She explained that someone from each Parish was going to lead the candidates up and carry the Book of the Elect and she wanted me to do that for the Queen of Peace candidates. I was nervous at first but I am happy I got to do it and it also meant I got to sit with them instead of in very back of the Church.
