Team 2 had an awesome time in their first parishes! We were welcomed by the community of Aberdeen, South Dakota. When we arrived, they celebrated Corpus Christi with the entire Blessed Sacrament Pastorate at a big block party. We celebrated by listening to music, playing games, and hanging out with Bishop Degrood!
The day and night programs began on Monday, June 3rd. These programs bore much fruit as God worked through us as instruments of His divine love. The love of God was already incredibly apparent in the Aberdeen students. During the day program, the students were very receptive to everything we taught and were eager to learn more on how to pray. During the night programs, the middle and high school students discussed prayer, how to keep God in our daily lives, and the sacrament of confession. We were able to put our words into actions as we went into Adoration during the week. We ended the week with a bonfire for the night program and a water fight for the day program.
We were honored to be able to serve this community. God’s plan of love and beauty for every student is clearly at work. Team 2 is excited to see how God continues to work through us as we venture onto our next town. Praise God!
