'As well as meeting the Augustinian Sisters in residence there, we all had a chance to get to know each other. After some late arrivals on the Friday night, the weekend was in full swing by Saturday where Fr. Gianni and Patrick Reynolds spoke to us about St. Augustine and how both friendship and God were very important to him during his life. After the chance of a walk to the nearby village, we all took part in some team building games, where some of the Sisters even joined in! Instead of watching X-Factor, we had a night of birthday cake (for Fr. George and I) some party games and, in Halloween tradition, ghost stories (the scariest ones coming from Austin Friars School). Before departures on Sunday, we were encouraged to sign up for AYE in ways that we thought would use our gifts in the best way possible.’
