The Relics of St Therese

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.

I had so much fun this weekend! It was great to see so many familiar faces of people who have visited the Briars before and people we met when out with Reach4.

I loved small group time with mine and Matt’s group, you guys were a lot of fun and made me laugh a lot when we were practicing acting out our part of the Nativity story. The clip we watched the next day of all the groups acting their parts out was hilarious and people pulled of those amazing helmets very well!

It was great how everyone really got into character on the walk where we had to play either Mary, Joseph or the donkey – I did feel sorry for the donkeys, but had a lot of fun playing Joseph. The walk was a great chace to talk to so many of you!

Watching Home Alone was definitely one of the highlights, along with the popcorn, and definitely didn’t fail to get me in the Christmas mood!

Thanks to everyone for such an amazing weekend…everything was so relaxed and fun; and I think whenwe got a visit from Santa with our affirmations we could see how good the weekend was for us all. And what better way to round off a fantastic weekend tn with an amazing christmas dinner for us all to tuck into!
