JVI Retreat

March 9, 10, and 11 marked our quadrennial JVI retreat. Instead of opting to go off-island, hiking or camping, we collectively decided to engage in a fast downtown at Saraamen Chuuk Academy, the other Catholic high-school that employs 2 of our fellow JV's. A much needed break, an embraced sense of hunger and intentionality, a welcomed time of recommitment during this Lenten season and when you put the 7 of us together in one apartment for the weekend, a heck of a lot of fun!!

Believe it or not, this picture was not staged. Onlookers gaze over yonder at the arrival of the airplane making its daily stop in Chuuk.

Simplicity

And what retreat would be complete without a courtesy ride on the Police Jet Ski (Special Effects:Chris Dwyer)
