Ordinary time in September 2015

We celebrated ordinary time in September with a mix of ordinary activities, such as baking rolls and repotting plants, and extraordinary activities, like getting tickets for a papal Mass and signing the "Nuns on the Bus" bus.

We hope you'll enjoy our photo gallery!
