On Sunday 4th August at Manchester Airport we welcomed Fr. Andrea and the brothers of the Irish House, arriving from Italy.

On the Monday we started an intense day of work with each of the “Irish” Lads working together with a “Kendal” Lad.

We also had the possibility to have confession, or a simple moment of sharing, with Fr. Andrea.  In the afternoon the unmissable football game for most while some brothers made (also unmissable!) pizzas for dinner. Thanks to the good weather we ate in the courtyard in the company of some friends of our fraternity.  The atmosphere was very joyful.

On Tuesday we decided to dedicate most of the day to prayer, starting with Holy Mass in the morning.  We then prayed the walking rosary on Scout Scar and in the evening we lived a deep moment of Eucharistic Adoration on top of the hill behind the house.

Thanks to the Community for this visit, for the possibility to know new and old brothers and to receive new courage for our respective walks.

We entrust to you Mary our desires and our vocations.
