Lisa: We were honored with the opportunity to give our presentation “Reach Higher” at the Maronite Youth Organization (MYO) regional retreat on February 17 in Cincinnati, which was one day after Sophie’s 15th birthday! Father George and Father Gary, thank you so much for inviting us! I was really proud of Sophie and the way she “professed her faith” to the other teens. The following day, she read the epistle at mass for the very first time. MYO teens, you are amazing. We truly appreciated your warmth, enthusiasm, and inclusion of Sophie. She was so filled with joy that whole weekend. May God bless you all!
Sophie: I had so much fun at the retreat. I made some new friends and saw some of my old friends there. Thank you everyone for listening to me. Goodbye folks!
Sophie – We are so proud of you! I am excited to here more about the retreat. I read the slide with your picture and it gave me a big smile on my face and in my heart. You are amazing! This is just the beginning of your public speaking….God’s plans for you are good! (Jer 29:11)
