As part of the visit of St Therese’s relics to our cathedral in Nottingham, the Youth Service led an All Night Vigil. Starting at 11.00 on Monday 5th October and finishing the next morning with Mass at 6.30, it was split into three parts, each focussing on a different aspect of St Therese’s spirituality.
What a busy afternoon! It really does not feel like we were only with you for a few hours…you guys did so much we felt like we’d been there all day.
You all brought so much energy to everything that we did and we all had a lot of fun. The countries you were all in charge of were great and had some awesome laws. It is always so much fun to come to St John Houghton and this day was definitely no different.
