Retreat!

Heya lads!

               Last Wednesday we went on our retreat to Tallaght.. We set off early in the morning, completely unaware of the emotional day ahead of us.. It was truly a great day, and enjoyed by the majority of TY.
               We arrived at Tallaght and were brought into a big room in the retreat centre. A priest came our to talk to us for a little while and say a quick prayer before we split into groups. We split into groups of twelve going with whoever we were comfortable with.. We answered questions on a sheet, and then came the hard part.. Saying our answers out loud. 
                 Every single one of us twelve girls broke down crying at one point.. When we broke for lunch, everyone had red eyes.. We had tea and biscuits and our lunches, and sat around chatting and whatnot! My group decided to head back to the room earlier to writer about each other. We each sent a sheet around with our names up the top.. Everyone wrote a paragraph about that person, and we were overcome with joy and happiness when we got our sheets back.. We instantly knew who our true friends were!
                We concluded with a prayer from the priest and each placed a prayer into the earn to be burned.. We really bonded in our groups and learned alot about each other! I couldn't have asked for a better group of girls, we gelled so much over that particular Wednesday!
