Howdy, Greetings and Salutations....but most of all a hearty Ave Maria! from the Wexford Praesidium of Legion of Mary on this fine Saturday 9th September. Your local legionaries (not to be confused with legionnaire's disease, we don't have that, please God we don't anyway) have been busy at work preparing for our youthful event for youthful people.
Now, it's the moment we have all been waiting for.... our long awaited "short promotional film" is finally ready to be released into the world! If you don't know anything about the event that is taking place, please take a look at our *Brand* *New* *Promotional* *Video* to find out a little more. Go ahead, it's only 60 seconds long, we'll still be here waiting for you when you are finished watching it :-)
Now! Did you enjoy that? Please go ahead and share it on your "social media" if you wish. What an age we live in! Gee Whizzikers Batman!
Here's a little more information about our event.
This is Catholic event, taking place in Ballyvaloo retreat centre, Blackwater, beautiful Co. Wexford by the beach, on the 28th October. This event is for *any* and *all* young people who like us, are intrigued by the concept of “letting light shine out of darkness”, which of course is our theme. It's taken from 2Corinthians in the good book. Quite thought provoking don't you think? We all go through periods of darkness, that's a universal fact of being human, right?
Are you a kinda-sorta Catholic or a Christian who is confused or unconvinced or unimpressed by the legalities of the Church? Come anyway. In fact we especially want you to come. Everyone has something to offer and we can learn from each other. I can certainly say for myself - the writer - that am often extremely confused and I make so many mistakes and don't know right from wrong, and I don't just mean typos on this blog. Seriously!
What we do believe here is that we don't have to be bound by the darkness or the confusion that we all can find ourselves in. We don't have to carry our mistakes like a millstone around the neck. Jesus Christ is our LIGHT! and Mary, his mother is our mother too, and she will take us by the hand and guide us to him; if we choose to hold on tight to our Mama. Have I got your interest? Need to find out more? Then come to our event! There's going to be prayer, there's going to be fun, there's going to be fellowship.... (and we hope that you, dear reader, will be there too).
Here are some photos of the gang putting all the preparations in place for the feast that is ahead (that is, our ultra special wonderful fantastic interesting and did I mention oh-so-humble little event).
There will very soon, please God, be new blog update on our progress. We are flat out sourcing amazing speakers, we are really into music here and have some incredible tunes we are practicing up as a part of our music ministry. In the last fortnight we have been suuuuuper busy making our promotional short film. I can reveal that the next blog entry will focus on the making of this film; hands up who wants to see a picture of Fr. Agnellus sporting a boom pole?
So if you want to read more come back next week and read about our progress, Same bat-day! Same bat-time! Same bat-blog! … or for those of you who are not fans of the original cheesy 1960's Batman with Adam West, come back next week and read a bit more about our adventures here at the Legion of Mary.
Yours,
Carla Maria
