Rounders, Parties & Going Home

The third day at Ampleforth and just a general round up of all that we enjoyed during our retreat. Was there a better way to spend the Saturday afternoon than our 20 vs 20 rounders game even with those terrible shouts of 'Foul Ball' every few minutes! Then who could forget our party on the Saturday night with the music quiz and stackers game. These last few days have given us so much fun but also so many memories so hopefully this little video will let you share in those too:

Reflection, Drama & Stations

Here are the highlights from our second day at Ampleforth and just a small sample of what was a jam packed day! Starting with a reflection as a whole group then moving into our smaller groups to put together a drama. One of the highlights of our day though was the stations of the cross where each group took their turn at presenting one of the stations and of course the wonderful 'Team Rock' who carried the rocks for the last stretch of our walk. Take a look here to see the main highlights of the day:

Arrival and Night Prayer

The highlights of our first day at Ampleforth and our shortest one too! We left straight after school on Friday and enjoyed a very hot journey on the coach before sorting out our rooms. After that we were working in groups for a little while and then took part in a beautiful night prayer. Here are just a few of the highlights from our first day:

Ampleforth Retreat

Tomorrow sees Mission Control and loads more young people from the parishes going to Ampleforth on retreat. We've also invited a few adults from the parishes too to take part in what is the first big event since the Mission and we hope to come up with lots of other ideas on how we can work together.

Keep on checking the blog for updates and hopefully we'll have a few videos to bring you too!
