Maryland

This past weekend Tyler, Aly, and I went to Newburg, Maryland for a FOCUS regional gathering. It was a weekend to get away and enjoy time with other missionaries in the Atlantic and Northeast region.

We had the whole day on Saturday to make our own plans so we went with a few friends to explore two historical sites around the area, St. Mary's City (the first capital of Maryland) and St. Clement's Island (the first place Mass was celebrated in North America.)

Tyler's senior thesis was on the persecution of Catholics in colonial America and he did a lot of research about these two sites so it was very special for him to be able to visit these places!
