After a long night, everyone was up early and ready to go for our catechesis session. The catechesis sessions are an opportunity for young people to come together to pray, socialize, and learn from one of the Bishops. We were at St. Teresa of Avila Church with Cardinal George of Washington D.C. While many of the students were very tired, they very much enjoyed the session. The session concluded with mass celebrated by the Cardinal and con-celebrated by many other English-speaking Bishops and priests. We were actually lucky to get in as our Tour Director, once again, saved us by simply cutting us in front of everyone. Hey, when in Spain do as the Spanish do right?
Following the session, many were hungry so off we went to lunch. It also gave the students an opportunity to do some shopping. We then headed back to the hotel for a few hours of rest before heading to the Lasallian Youth gathering.
The Lasallian Youth gathering was a hit. The students really enjoyed the experience--especially meeting all those Lasallian girls! We spent the evening there having the opportunity to socialize, participate in various activities, and had the chance to hear the Superior General as he was there to address the young people. Once again the pictures say it all. It was yet another long evening as we did not arrive home to our hotel until about 12:30 AM.
