A group of pilgrims from St. Michael's traveled to St. Augustine, Florida to join the beginning of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage for the 250th Anniversary of the country.

There was an opening Mass at the site of the First Mass on American soil in 1565. A group reenacted the story of many priests and laypeople who died for their faith as Martyrs in the 1700s in La Florida.

The day ended with a Eucharistic Procession, processing Jesus truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, through the streets of St. Augustine to the Cathedral.

The Eucharistic Pilgrims will travel through all 13 colonies in the next 6 weeks, concluding in Philadelphia on 4th of July where the Declaration of Independance was signed 250 years ago in 1776.

Sixteen students from Bowling Green State University, Ohio traveled to Guyana during their spring break this Lenten season for an unforgettable FOCUS mission trip.

These young volunteers came with the desire to serve Christ and to offer their energy, time, and sufferings for the sake of other souls. They organized and ran after-school activities in Charity and Pomeroon (the area of mission served by our small religious family). People of various ages participated in sports, catechetical talks, rosary processions and Holy Mass, followed by a talent show on the last day. The volunteers truly spread the joy that comes with being a Catholic Christian.

We pray for the continued fruits of their work and for more young people to be generous in giving their time and talents in helping the missions of the Church throughout the world.
