IMG_0757 * Don't know the words to the songs? No problem! Screens in the tent keep all 2, 800 participants in the know! * 320 x 240 * (21KB)
IMG_0763_2 * Where do you sleep? We sleep in gigantic tents! Guys on one side of the campus, women on the other and many volunteers staying up all night, being sure it stays that way! This is our tent, which held about 120 women. In one tent, we counted 720 spaces for sleeping! Everyone gets a small area to sleep in. Porta-potties and portable showers are brought in for the weekend. Meals are served cafeteria style; you pass through the line pretty quickly! But it does take a quite a while serving so many at once. * 240 x 320 * (20KB)
IMG_0776 * Despite the extreme heat, priests from the Attleboro area, as well as those who attend with their youth groups, gather to process in as we begin mass on Saturday morning. St. Rose's group from Newtown was next to us that morning. * 320 x 240 * (26KB)
