Just got amazing news!

[phisigprincess]

So my sister just called me and told me that she has been chosen to represent the United States at World Youth Day in Cologne, Germany on a boat cruise with the Pope!! There are only 30 people chosen and she was one of them! She can barely contain herself! I can't imagine how she feels to be chosen to represent her country at an important event like this. Apparently the Pittsburgh diocese always sort of stands out and that's why they chose her. If you could spare some P and PD for a safe trip there (August 14th) and trip on the boat I would appreciate it. Thanks for letting me share!!!

WOW--that's really exciting news for her to be honored this way! It sounds as though she'll be meeting people from around the world, and I'm sure she'll be a fine representative of our country.

I hope she has a wonderful time, and I'm thinking good thoughts for her safe journey!

That is incredible! I am so excited for you and your family--my DH and 2 of my DD's are going as well, and I am excited just knowing they'll be there. I can't imagine what it would be like to have a family member on that boat with the Holy Father! What a blessing for all of you! Post again when you hear from your sister--I'll be watching this on EWTN! (Give us a little description of her so we can look for her on TV.)

 

[Dan Murphy]

That is wonderful for your family too, hoosiergirl. Amazing.

That is so amazing!! Could you imagine being in a crowd that small with the Pope?!?!!?

 

[hoosiergirl]

phisigprincess, your sister is travelling down the river right now with Pope Benedict! I'm watching this LIVE on EWTN! Although I don't know what your sister looks like, I am as excited as if I did, looking at each face and wondering if it's her. What an exciting time for her--and you--and all of us who have family members there--and of course, all who are interested and have a love for the Holy Father and WYD and.... Can you tell how excited I am?!?

 

[phisigprincess]

She's the one in my sig that's taller than me (i'm in black) she should have a gold Steeler hat on! WHY DO I HAVE TO BE AT WORK!??!?!

 

[Rex Rules]

Prayers and PD coming your and her way!

Congrats - that is amazing and I'm sure it will be one of the greatest and most memorable experiences of her life.
