After one Tim Horton's breakfast sandwich, a cup of airplane tea, and four hours of travel, the pilgrims of Immaculate Conception Parish Delta have arrived in Fort Worth Texas! St. Bernadette, Our Lady of Sorrows, as well as St.Patrick Parish WYD groups have also arrived safely.
These parishes not only share the pride of being Canadian but also the bond of being Catholic! Pilgrims of Vancouver can be seen sporting their red Archdiocese "Canada '13" jerseys or like St. Pats or IC Delta, their parish t-shirts! Truly this pilgrimage is bringing many Catholics together as one, holy, apostolic Church!
Some highlights of the day would definitely be being randomly selected to undergo a bag check at the American Customs, Father Saju being asked by the American Officer the stages in becoming a pope (Father was held for quite a long time, so we thought that they would not allow him to pass), mailing my "cow kisses from Texas" postcard to my parents, and finding out that in Texas there are two food sizes: a normal size and TEXAS size...(and they also have a Texas accent too!). NOW for a gruelling ten hour plane ride to Sao Paulo! See you in Sao Paulo! :)
