AlterDominicus Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 (edited) So who is exactly going from phatmass to the Dominican Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist retreat this November? Thanks to one of our phatmassers, I will be going to this retreat for the first time ever, after trying to get there previously 8 times. Here is the story, Tracy (FSGM) invited me to go with her to the retreat, so I manage to hook up with some friends, and Donna Marie (passionheart) paid the 25$, I was convinced that nothing could deteriorate this wonderous thing God made happen. Then it fell through - Tracy entered, I was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy Then the retreat didnt matter to me. After she entered, and life started to become normal, I told me mom well I need a driver to take me to the retreat. She said she will see who she could find. Nothing. I wasnt about to loose hope in our Lord - I knew He was determined to get me there ONE DAY. Then out of the clear blue sky I talked to another phatmasser on IM. Then before I knew it, she had bought me a train ticket to Ann Arbor for the retreat. Then came the next blessing, Sister Joseph Andrew talked to a benefactor, Sister Pio Maria's mother who is a knew novice, and Hilary (her mom) said she would be honored to have me overnight - since I will be leaving the Second, to go there, and leaving the Sixth to come back to Minnesota. [b]A novena of rosaries are being prayed, the phatmasser, Hilary, and Sister Joseph Andrew GOD BLESS YOU GUYS!!!! And thank you Donna Marie[/b] :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: Edited September 23, 2006 by AlterDominicus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a little theatrical performence that Sister Mary David did in Alton to Sister Stephania, because SMD is so tall, SS, is short. That I will be doing in reverse, Sister Joseph Andrew is taller then me, which makes me short. And the perfect time to do this is Friday the Nov. 3rd - Because she wants me at the school in the afternoon, A DAY BEFORE the actual retreat.

passerby Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I'm going! I didn't think I would be able to without spending a lot of money and taking 4 days off of work. But I got a really good seat sale! I'm not on an official countdown yet, but I'm super excited! Blessings, J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
