Day Seven...Homeward Bound

After a solid night's sleep at the Lord Elgin Hotel in Ottawa, we got the day rolling with a 7 a.m. Mass in a conference room that was set aside for our use.  Then we enjoyed a very un-penitential breakfast before boarding the bus to begin the journey home.  A couple of videos, moments of prayer and the occasional rest-stop helped pass the time. 
 
We are now in Sault-Ste-Marie, settling in for the night after our "official" wind-up banquet.  One thing we haven't lacked on our pilgrimage is solid nourishment, both physical and spiritual!  Tomorrow will find us on the road for most of the day.  We look forward to celebrating Mass in Nipigon before arriving back in Thunder Bay in the evening.
