Friday (March 1, 2002)
afternoon we started our journey for Birmingham,
Alabama to spend the weekend. The six members
team was: Jenna (Florida), Nashua (New Hampshire),
Andrew (England), Helga (Germany), Cristi (South
Dakota) and me. "Captain Cap" (Jenna, because
she was wearing a nice cap) drove and led us
to our destination.
After four and a half
hours driving we reached " Mary's House" which
is a shelter for homeless people & families
and is coordinated by "Catholic Workers" In
the evening we met with Shelley D. (principle
& coordinator of the house), Jim D. (an author),
Father Anthony and some other nice people. That
evening was a "Mass" for reopening ceremony
of Mary's House. It was my first experience
of Mass. We enjoyed sharing our views with them.
Especially our peace clown Nashua (he always
wear a clown red nose as a part of his peace
movement which is his goal for the rest of his
life) gave a nose to Father Anthony He did wear
it right a way and Nash took his picture (actually
taking pictures of different people with the
peace nose is another part of his movement).
