Hello! My name is Kristen Shea and my home parish is St. Edward's Church in Medfield, yet I am traveling with St. Cecilia's Church in Ashland for Wold Youth Day. It is now the third day of the pilgrimage and I am taking part in a wonderful opportunity and once in a lifetime experience. Germany is great!! It is a beautiful country, wonderful cathedrals, churches, and chapels, great restaurants and cafes, cute shops, great museums, etc. Today, we were supposed to go on a boat ride on the Reine for the whole day, but it got cancelled. However, our individual group decided to go on a one hour cruise on the Reine anyway and it was fantastic!! The weather was perfect for a boat ride. Afterwards, we spent some time at the Chocolate Museum. It was extremely interesting and the chocolate was delicious. Afterwards, we went to Saint Maria Church for adoration and daytime prayer. It was a very old Romanesque Church and absolutely beautiful. 
I wsa truly amayed by its beauty. It was incredible! 
Afterwards, I went to a choir rehersal with six other girls and two guys from the Boston group where we will be singing for the Pope on Saturday night and at the Papal Mass on Sunday. 
There are about 75-100 of us. We are all so thrilled to be singing for the Pope and are very excited to be so close to him! It will be an experience we will never forget, a once in a lifetime opportunity!!!We'll catch up with you later!!!!
God Bless,
Kristen E. Shea
