Father Brant led us in morning prayer today.  He talked about
St. Paul who escaped from being arrested by being
lowered out of a window in a basket.

In the afternoon, we had a special guest.. Archbishop Brunett!
We sang a few songs for him and got to ask questions
about what it's like to be an Archbishop.

Choir Camp 2008
Archbishop Brunett explained that his chair is where
the Cathedral gets its name.  What's it called?

He also explained the symbolism of his coat of arms.  He has
roses in his coat of arms for three reasons.  Can you remember them?
