Summer's coming to an end...

It's been a busy couple of weeks!  I've now finished up my internship at Salt and Light, and I am now heading to Novi, Michigan, to teach at Detroit Catholic Central High School.  I'm amazed at how fast the time flew by!  these past two months have been great, and I am really glad that I got the opportunity to come up here.

Salt and Light is a great organization, and I enjoyed my time there, not only because of the work that they do, but also because of the people I met.  People always talk about the lack of young adult involvement in the Church, but if those people could only see Salt and Light, I think they'd be truly amazed.  I've never seen an organization such as Salt and Light that is almost completely run by young adults.  Of course, you have Fr. Tom Rosica, and a couple of other "older" people, but it is truly great to see such a great youth involvement in the organization.  I sincerely hope I have the chance to go back there some day.  If you want to learn more about Salt and Light, check out their website at www.saltandlighttv.org

Last week, The three Basilian Associates who were living at Frasatti House welcomed three younger associates to Toronto, and then we all went on retreat in Niagara Falls for a week. It was a great experience, and a great chance to get to bond and connect with each other.  An added bonus was that the retreat center was within walking distance of the falls!  We got to go sightseeing at the falls, ride the Maid of the Mist, and walk by the falls at night.  I do have to admit that when we were doing our "walk and talks" as part of the retreat, it was great to be able to walk down to the falls!  Niagara Falls is truly a spectacular sight to see, and if you haven't been there, I highly recommend you go! (P.S., the Canadian side is the better side to view the falls from!)

Well, onward to the next adventure! I'm on my way to Michigan now (horray for free wi-fi on the train!)  Keep me in your prayers, and know that you'll be in mine.

Blessings,

Steven
