Palm Springs Trip
February 18, 2008

            On February 18th, early morning, Father Michael, ready & alert, started our day with a delightful prayer and prepared us for this great adventurous trip.

            Palm Springs was as different as it is every time we go there. The snow was deep and the hiking was never-ending. We made snowmen, threw snowballs at each other and we went sliding down many hills and valleys.

            However, with Father Michael's motivation we continued through until we got to the top of all the mountain peaks. At our last stop we sat down and prayed together admiring the beauty of the surrounding nature and thanking God for the great opportunity of being able to enjoy His creation, make new friends, and most of all spend time with Fr. Michael and Fr. Poulos.  Then we "shopped till we dropped" at the Palm Springs outlet. It was fun!!!
