Sorry I haven't written in a while! We just finished having our annual Summer Mission Institute (SMI) for young adults. What a great group we had! Everyone participated fully and had a great time. One young man from the island of Jamaica, Joel, is a percussion studies student. Joel added so much to our music group with his djembe playing. We had quite a good little band going with Crystal, who plays guitar, Lisa who has an incredible voice, plays guitar and percussion, and Sr. Mary Ann who is a talented guitarist and vocalist. We had such fun!!!

Two young women from Michigan found SMI on the web and took the risk to come and enjoyed themselves! Bertie and Crystal came from Tucson, Mikel from Jamaica, and others from Florida, Pennsylvania, and other places I can't even remember!

The SMI week has re-enkindled the idea that I've had for a while-to have a Missionary Cenacle Family Band! We could reach out to youth groups and young adult audiences to spread the Gospel message and our charism through music! What do you think???
