And, Away We Go!

St. Madeleine Sophie said: "Be humble, be simple and bring joy to others."

And, today we all began that journey. In our chapel, after prayer, candlelight and words of inspiration, the 2010 Project Term season was launched and the adventures began.

We have been offered amazing opportunities to serve in the Metropolitan Chicago area, at the Inspiration Cafe and at the Chicago Food Depository. If you can, go ahead and check out the Inspiration Cafe's website (http://www.inspirationcorp.org/) and watch their video. It's really an amazing place that serves the homeless and hopeless with dignity and respect. We'll be serving also, as well as bagging lunches, packing boxes at the Depository and filling other needs that they have.

We'll also be touring cultural sites in the area and navigating through that great working city via mass transit. It's always fun to be with students from our area and let them have a shot at moving through traffic and bus stops. It's never long before they are experts and tour guides!

We'll also have an opportunity to meet with some ASH alums who live in Chicago , and hear about their continuing commitment to service in their own communities. Just because high school is done doesn't mean service is done for a Sacred Heart girl!

We meet Sunday to board the train...Stay tuned for tales of adventures and laughs!
