My favorite memory from this summer was attending the Ordination Mass of ten priests from the order called the Institute of the Incarnate Word. I drove to Washington D.C. with my family on a road trip to see the ordination. We arrived in D.C. the night before the ordination. The sisters and brothers were having a party! They were eating pizza and singing with their guitars. We gladly joined their party. The next day we went to the ordination Mass. It was at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington D.C. Before the ceremony began we walked around the enormous church and saw all the breathtaking marble pillars, saint statues, and mosaics. The Mass itself was beautiful. with devoted priests, a famous old bishop to preach the homily, a large and melodious choir, and a nave completely packed with people. As the summer fades away, I know this event will be left in my memory for a long time.
