This summer, we had the joy of being present at FOCUS’ New Staff Training in both Bismarck, ND and Ave Maria, FL. It was a time of grace, meeting with students one-on-one, praying with them, joining them for classes, and even jumping into frisbee games. While in the great north, we took the chance to hike part of the Badlands with some of the missionaries and the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia for a time of fellowship and formation.
