Palm Springs Trip 2007
The Youth of St. Peter’s Chaldean Catholic Cathedral in El Cajon, CA, took a trip up to the Palm Springs Mountains on February 19, 2007. Leaving at the peak of dawn, Fr. Michael Bazzi and Fr. Andrew Younan led 60 Bible study, choir, and BOL members on a refreshing trip to the snow. A tram left the ground and elevated 5000 feet, taking all church members on a fun ride up to the top of mountains covered in snow. The youth ran outside quickly, tossing and throwing snow at one another while also enjoying the scenery and breathing in the pure, fresh air. Fr. Michael Bazzi, an expert in navigating through the Palm Springs Mountains, led the students on a 7-mountain hike. A few hours and snow fights later, they reached the top and recited a few prayers and words of thanks before trailing back down. Luckily, it only just started to snow as everyone headed back into the warm cabin/resting area. After a morning full of adventure and ice cold weather, the bus returned to a nearby outlet where time was spent eating, shopping, and lounging around. As the day came to an end, the bus brought the worn-out group back to the church. What a fabulous way to spend a holiday, visit the snow, go hiking, and finish off with shopping!
