February 5th: Ice Skating Party in honor of St. Agnes

Last Sunday we had a party in honor of St. Agnes of Rome at the Ice Skating Rink! our Aggie group leader gave us the presentation of the life of St.Agnes and then we did a cup cake decorating contest (with a variety of cup cakes made by our own very creative team leaders!) to tell her life (and symbols like the lamb, the fire, the palm, etc) we had prizes and pizza, hot chocolate, lemonade and lots of cup cakes!

At the end,we received our Sacred Heart of Jesus box wrapped as a beautiful gift with a surprise inside! it had our St. Agnes' card, a beautiful heart made of fantasy jewelry and at the bottom of the box it had these words inscribed: "My heart belongs to Jesus" and what was most special was a blessed card by the Pope of our Lady of Lourdes with Saint Bernadette praying to our Lady with the Angel's prayer on the back. Our group leader brought these cards from Lourdes France and received the blessing of Pope Benedict XVI during the World Youth Day in Spain last summer!

Then we put our skates and headed to the rink! we had a wonderful time celebrating our friendship and God's love for each one of us! Thank you Jesus!

Glorious St. Agnes pray for us!
