Friday the 28th of September we gathered in the parish hall of St. Olav church for dinner. 15 students had signed up, and Olimpia, Steve, Martin and Ingvild had cooked for two and half hours. And Karoline rescued the night!
We were so happy to see some new faces! Martin, Ingvild, Fritzie, Giovanni and Klaus were new, we hope to see you again! There were also some old faces, like father Etienne, who has moved to Molde, joined us. He used to be in charge of the group and will also give us a lecture in September. Plus, Clarisse is back! She has spent the summer studying across the globe. Otherwise known as Radio Clarisse, she has been in charge of Adoration and is our lead singer. Sadly, most people stop singing when she starts, because we can’t really compare.
The evening started with Mass. Whenever we have a social evening, like dinner, we encourage everyone who wants to join us to celebrate Mass with us, because one of the goals of the student group is for people to explore their faith. What better way to do that than to celebrate Christ’s death and resurrection, and receiving His body and blood? Then we try to live our faith in the meetings, by being hospitable, forgiving and loving to our fellow Christians.
The meal this time consisted of arabian-spiced carrot soup, marinated chicken with salad and sun-blushed tomatoes, and plum cake with ice cream for dessert. All the food was gone! I hope there was enough food for everyone.
And thank you Clarisse and Giovanni, who did the dishes! A job very well done
Peace, Pia Maria
