My son Matthew is working to raise support for a pilgrimage to Rome with his school St. Leonard's RC Comprehensive in Durham. This pilgrimage is to take place from 13 February 2010 - 19 February 2010. This pilgrimage is for sixth form students. Matthew has gained a very keen interest in philosophy and ethics and on his A-level exam in ethics received a really well-deserved A paper. He thinks something in the area of philosophy and ethics will be his avenue of study in university. He is also reading Sociology, Psychology and English Lit. Matthew will be looking to wash cars and do odd jobs when he has the time between his studies to help raise money for his pilgrimage. I thought I would put a blog piece here for friends and family who would like to help Matthew make this trip possible.The cost of the pilgrimage is £520.00 (which is about $820.00 by today's currency trading). This cost is for the room and half board. If you would like to donate you can do so to my paypal account and put in the subject line for Rome and Matthew will acknowledge all gifts of support. If there is a surplus, I will make sure to make an announcement to stop sending that he has raised the money to go. Do pray for Matthew as he is a special young man who has a vibrant faith and is a virtuous young man.
