Where on earth has Cy been?!?!
Well, I have been on earth...but last week I wasn't anywhere near the Pacific ocean. CT and I attended the St. Paul Summer Program with the Daughters of St. Paul in Boston!
It wasn't a retreat all the way really, but it was sort of a camp/program/retreat.There were classes given by the Sisters on their Charism and Founders as well as a writting class, art class, and media class.
It was a retreat in a way that we got to join the Sisters everyday for morning prayers and Mass, and had an hour of Adoration each day. We did have a half day silent retreat on friday.
Basically, we were able to see how the Sisters lived and what their community life was like.
Of course, we had outings to some places of note! We went to Isabella Stewart Gardner Art Museum, the largest art museum I'd ever been to. Then we went to Louisa May Alcott's house and went on a tour.
CT and I made friends with girls from across the US and sometimes laughed until we doubled over at whatever jokes we had made up during the week with the Sisters. We had a great time - it was the best summer trip we've ever had and we wished it didn't have to end!
But it did, and now we're all back safe and sound and with a memorable experience.
Thank for all your prayers, BTW!

Close ups!
Sorry, didn't have much time to post last time...or enough pictures. Got more this time!
BTW, the exhibit will be at the Cathedral gallery until the end of the month (which means there's one week left). Stop by if you've got time! The gallery is usually open Tuesdays and Fridays after the noon Mass, and after Sunday Masses.
First off, a closer view of Father Damien's nice handwriting on some of the letters he wrote. His walking stick is just behind...
Father Damien wasn't just a caretaker of his flock's spiritual needs, he was also their carpenter, doctor, and friend.
Pipe (The face is a part of the pipe, the part behind is it's case)
Father Damien was already sick by the time Mother Marianne had come to Hawaii, but it's really neat when two saints know each other and are friends.
Best for last! Father Damien's glasses.
I'll try to post more later, but many apologies if it turns out to be much, much later...

Father Damien's feast day was last week and we had an exhibit at the Cathedral! Click to enlarge...
Some letters, birth certificate, bills (all with really, really nice handrwiting!), his walking stick, some tools, and his pipe.
Funeral vestment, chalice, some items for Mass, and a tool for making the hosts for Mass.
