What a joy to be part of this summer's St. Brendan Work Camp! Twenty-three St. Brendan youth and twelve adults truly did live the call to serve others by building a vegetable garden on Treasure Island for the Catholic Charities Child Development Center. This is a project that has been in the works for months, and countless members of our faith community have contributed to making it a reality through planning, fundraising, organizing, volunteering, and praying. Thanks especially to Beth O'Leary for such a great job organizing the troops for each day, to Paul Eggert for his building expertise and supervision, to the staff at CCCYO -TI for welcoming us so warmly, and to Fr. Dan for his support and visit! (He did manage to time his trip to TI to coincide with our lunch break....:))
As this project winds down, so does my time as a Pastoral Associate at St. Brendan Parish. I look forward to working directly with many from our faith community as I begin Campus Ministry at St. Ignatius Preparatory College. And you'll still see me around at liturgies, in the knitting group (my mother is so proud of me for that!), and wherever a parish activity requires the use of power tools. (Stay tuned for future project updates and opportunities.)
Have a great and blessed summer!
Sr. Sharon
