Homeward bound...

So I'm sat at San Francsico International Airport in the depature lounge with a pint of Stella and I thought; I haven't blogged in a while...well here it is!

I figure I'll tell yu why I've been so quiet on here recently. Well...I've been kinda busy! Work has been hectic and below are some of the things I've been doing this past few months that's kept me with my nose to the grindstone!

1. Confirmation - I had the privilege of "Presenting" the 69 candidates from our parish to the Bishop. I don't know why but this meant a lot to me. I've spent the last year preparing these young people to stand up and proffess their faith. After the ceremony the bishop said to me: "Sean, you should be very proud. These were the most prepared and focussed candidates I've ever confirmed and that's thanks to them having a great Youth Minister." Yikes!
2. Easter! That was a busy time for different reasons; I was helping with the churches environment and the Internet streaming. On the Easter Vigil none of my streamers turned up and myself and 7th grader did the whole thing (3 cameras and the control room) on our own! I was shattered!
3.Graduation! I was very happy with graduation this year. I felt like I really KNEW this class and I was so proud of them.

So that's 3 of a great many things which include preparing and planning ALL things we are doing next year...at least I don have to worry about any of it over the summer!

Let's go England, gonna be epic to be home!
