Navy Pier
Monday, December 22nd Fr. Peter invited the Youth Group and the Altar Servers on a trip to Chicago. The adventure started with a youth Mass at noon and pizza. After that, we got on the bus and hoped to get to Navy Pier within two hours. The trip took us almost four hours because of the Christmas rush traffic in Chicago. Finally when we got to Navy Pier we were greeted at the Winter Wonder Festival. Youth spent a few hours playing, watching performances, climbing, and ice skating. On the way home we drove on Michigan Avenue to look at the Christmas lights display, we also saw the Christmas tree at the Daily Plaza. We got home late but full of excitement.
