DSJ Sleep-Over

We had our first annual DSJ Sleep-Over December 4-5 2008.
Because it was Advent, we spent some time learning about the true meaning of Christmas, the Christian roots of Christmas traditions and how to prepare our hearts for Christmas.
After some skits that illustrated the true meaning of Christmas in different ways, we walked over to the convent chapel to spend a Holy Half Hour with Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
December 4 marked exactly one year since our first DSJ meeting, so we celebrated with a cake made by two Daughters. It was delicious! We thank God for all His blessings during the past year.
In the morning (after we all got very little sleep!) We went back over to the convent for Rosary and Holy Mass, at which two girls were enrolled as Daughters of St. Joseph. Congratulations and welcome!
After a delicious brunch prepared by our fearless chaperone, we were in the Port Hood Santa Claus Parade! Everyone looked great!

It was a great time, and I look forward to the next one!

Enjoy the pictures:

DSJ apostolates are off and running!

We have begun all three of our apostolates.

The Altar Society has met a couple of time, and worked very hard cleaning the church.

Media and Evangelization had their first meeting, and the Daughter who attended made some very interesting videos to learn basic camera and editing skills. They show real potential!

The DSJ who will be visiting the elderly met to plan a party for the seniors at Marian residence. We hope to have the party very soon.

Good job to all of you! Keep up the good work!

Here are a few pictures from the first meeting of the Altar Society:
