<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Last night,
we had our Final Cell. As per tradition, we hosted our end-of-the-year potluck
at Newman House. Our alumni travelled from Montreal and Toronto to join us, and for those who were unable to make it in person, they skyped in (from Orillia
and New Zealand!) or watched Alvin’s Facebook Live stream (Thanks Alvin!!). You may be able to access the Facebook stream here: https://www.facebook.com/wushu.guy/videos/10101805245506141/</span></div>

Throughout
the night, we connected our alumni with our new members, we caught up with each other and our graduates gave their touching parting speeches. Overall, it
was a heartwarming night, full of food, friends and love. Time flew by, and we
ended up hanging around Newman till 12am! Just as the saying goes, “Time flies
when you’re having fun”. 😉 </div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;">Towards the end, we shared a slideshow to commemorate our QCCC
family. The slideshow was produced from photos that were available from the “era
before our signature jackets”, to present day. If anyone has any photos they’d
like for us to include, please send us a message! We’d love to update the video
to include as many of our members as possible.</span></div>

As exec, we
would like to thank everyone for their support and love. It
has been a true honour to be a part of a family that has grown so much over the
years. QCCC will forever be in our hearts.<br />

Happy New Year everyone! We had our first cell of 2017 last Friday, and we did something in honour of the new year. It may sound cliche, but we came up with our new year's FAITH resolutions!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Keeping up with new year's resolutions are not easy, and starting small is a good first step to reaching your goal. Having a physical item be within sight is always a good reminder, and that's why we decided to fold origami doves as our keepsake, to write our new year's FAITH resolutions on! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Doves represent a lot in our religion, and one of the meanings include: divine guidance. The dove will be guiding you throughout the year to remind you of your promise to yourself, and hopefully it'll serve as a good way to help improve your faith.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It took us a while to get it down (there were over 30 steps...), but we folded our doves and shared our respective resolutions. Presenting... our family of "resolution doves"! </div>

Apologies for the poor camera quality! However, nothing can mask the happiness that we felt while we celebrated the end of the semester together. :) Thank you to all of our members for joining us every week. We're very happy that we all got to know each other a little better, but most importantly, that we grew in faith as a family. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Special shout-out to Amanda and Raewyn, our newest members that were exchange students for the semester! It was a pleasure to have you guys join our QCCC fam! We'll miss you guys a lot! Come back to Kingston to visit us sometime. :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

And with that, QCCC would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year. Come back and join us in 2017... we're going to have a blast. <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: 'San Francisco', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, '.SFNSText-Regular', sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">♡</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last Friday, we held our first Netflix viewing night. "The Bible" is a successful miniseries with 10 episodes, that originally premiered on the History Channel. It got great reviews, and as Christmas is coming up, we decided to watch the episode that focused on the birth of Jesus Christ.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Hope" is the 6th episode of the miniseries, and we got to see what life was like before the birth of Jesus, and precisely what Jesus had to go through. Spoiler alert: it's pretty graphic, and not for the faint of heart, but it's definitely worth a watch. If you guys do catch an episode or the entire series, you should compare this adaptation of the Bible to others available!</div>

Last Friday, we did something that we've never done before at QCCC.... HOTPOT NIGHT! The temperatures have been dropping as December is nearing, so we decided to do a "hotpot potluck" at Newman House!</div>

In honour of October being the Month of the Rosary, we decided to do a feature cell on our dearest Mother Mary last week.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the first activity, we had to piece together parts of sentences of various special facts about Mary. Fun fact: If you didn't know, The Immaculate Conception refers to Mary herself, and not the conception of Jesus!</div>

After our 'puzzling' activity, we shared our personal anecdotes about what the rosary meant to us, and connected over the joys of praying the rosary. For the past week, our live it out challenge was to pray the rosary, and to ponder on how our relationship with Mary helps us grow closer to God.</div>

For Homecoming 2016, we decided to do something a little different for cell. Dan School of Drama and Music held a Showcase Concert at the BEAUTIFUL Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts, so we decided to have our first QCCC Social Night of the year by enjoying classy performances by our talented peers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As the Isabel is situated by the lake, we had a spectacular view to start off the night....</div>

This week, we decided to journey back in time to a time when miracles occurred! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the first activity, we sorted definitions about miracles in order of most to least importance and watched testimonial videos on people who had experienced miracles in their lives. The next semi-physical activity of the night required our members to choose sides of the room depending whether we think certain situations and scenarios (given on the little sheets of paper) are miracles.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hilarious conversations and reasonings came up, and we all got to learn more about what it means for an event to be considered as a miracle!</div>

Did someone say FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING? This week our cell was slightly.... Lord of the Rings themed! We had a fun activity that required teamwork to journey to Mount Doom in order to bring our rings to the glorified glass bowl. We had our rings and our members (who each had various challenges and responsibilities) journey on the fuzzy blankets to reach our goal.</div>

So why did we choose Fellowship of the Rings as our theme? That is because we wanted to focus on what makes QCCC so important to all of us, and what it means to be in a fellowship.</div>

So we have discussed and agreed, that fellowship is an important part of any group, but especially in our little QCCC family. We learned that there are 3 types of people we find at fellowships: mentors, peers and mentees. Having these people in our lives enrich our knowledge of the faith, and we grow together. Heres to many more moments and opportunities to grow together in faith. <span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "san francisco" , , "blinkmacsystemfont" , ".sfnstext-regular" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">♡</span></div>

We started off the night with our usual "weekly" sharing as we got to catch up with each other on our respective summer adventures.<br />

We also played Telestrations and definitely got a lot of laughs out of the final products of each sentence... This game is essentially broken telephone but through drawings and sentences.

This is the event that we had been waiting for years - the World Youth Day 2016 in Krakow, a grand opportunity for millions of young Catholics worldwide to discuss, re-examine and celebrate their faith. This year, six members of the QCCC community attended WYD as part of a larger contingent of 30 pilgrims from two Chinese parishes in Toronto (CMCC and SAT).</div>

Our first week was spent in the quiet town of Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski and we lived with local host families who hailed from a variety of backgrounds. Nonetheless, all of them had something in common - hospitality and enthusiasm for the Catholic faith. Each day, we had a morning prayer in a different church, before heading out for the day's activities.<br />

These events only served as a precursor to a hectic but eventful week in Krakow, three hours away by bus. We celebrated Opening Mass, the Stations of the Cross and the Pope's Welcoming Ceremony in the large Blonia Park on three different nights with over a million other pilgrims, while braving bouts of rain and transit closures. Our daily cathechesis sections took place in the spanking new Tauron Arena, the designated venue for some of the English-language activities; some of the guest peakers included Cardinal Tagle (Phillipines) and Cardinal Timothy Dolan (New York).<br />

Not only did we greatly increase our knowledge of country flags, we also had a meaningful time learning about others' cultures and practices.<br />

All the events in Krakow culminated in an overnight vigil at the massive Campus Misericordiae, which was a 10km walk from our hostel. We set up huge tarps at the campsite along with our sleeping bags, and Fr. Dominic and Fr. Thomas celebrated a minimalist daily mass with us on the tarp. At the conclusion of the vigil, Pope Francis celebrated Sunday Mass and then announced that the next WYD would be held in Panama in 2019.<br />

<span style="text-align: center;">Time really flies. It is hard to believe that QCCC started off with its humble beginnings in 1991 and has continued to be a welcoming community for students. On June 5, we organised a 25th anniversary celebration at Angus Glen Community Centre and invited alumni and current members to reconnect and indulge in the festivities. </span><br />

Some of the activities that took place were mainly for nostalgic reasons as they have been QCCC traditions for many years. The Curtain Game, for instance, has been a traditional icebreaker for many of our Open Houses, and still proves to be an exciting way of getting people to know each other. Reverse charades, where one person guesses and everyone else acts out a phrase, and Broken Telephone Pictionary are the two other activities that have been in our activity repertoire for many years too.<br />

It's that time of the year again! No, not April Fool's Day, but last cell. As per the custom, QCCC had a potluck for the last cell of the school year and we were pleased to have several alumni as well as guests from last year's GT committee visit us. Father Raymond also dropped by to say hi, and Rita, the Chaplain at Joyceville Institution (where QCCC volunteers at) also visited.<br />

Along with the sumptuous food and social mingling, this was also the time to say goodbye to our graduating members. This year, there are two fresh graduates, Colin and Wendes (and technically Hilton, but he's staying for graduate studies). The rest of QCCC came together to perform a rendition of Maroon 5's "Daylight" with lyrics modified to suit the occasion.<br />

If you had to define “the Church” in a single sentence, what would you say? Is it an institution, a structure, a gathering, a community, a people? All of the above, and more? On February 26th, we learned about what the Church is through one Bishop Robert Barron's video's entitled "The Mystical Union of Christ and the Catholic Church." </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Afterwards we had a discussion focused around the importance of the Church in our own lives as well as for those around the world. We followed that up with discussions regarding how the Church was related to Jesus and how it differed from other organizations, its job and the relationship between the Church and God. We learnt that the Church was an organization linking like-minded individuals and that the Church unified people with Christ in order to have their sins forgiven. And finally, we learnt that both God and the Church are one in order to unite people around the world in the faith.</span></div>

The JU Winter Retreat has been an annual tradition for as many years as we can remember. This year was no exception, when members of the the different CCCs gathered at Mill Stream Bible Camp over the Family Day weekend. This year's theme was "Encounter", and proved to be a dramatic departure from the lighthearted retreats of previous years. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Throughout the retreat, we listened to five speakers chronicling their struggles in their relationship with God, many of which were sobering and tear-jerking. After each testimony was a session of whole-hearted discussion based on the topic of the testimony. Personally, it was gratifying to see everyone being so open and willing to share their thoughts and experiences, even if they were not the most pleasant. </div>

Of course, every retreat has a guest speaker, and this year, it is no other than Father Toby Collins, a Resurrectionist who hails from Waterloo.

Other staples of the retreat included the oh-so-wonderful Singspiration, led by LCCC, and Eucharistic Adoration. No retreat would be complete without either of these. </div>

Father Raymond also came by to say hi, while watching us compete to win mystery gifts, varying from that of a dish sponge to a shower cap. </div>

On November 6th, QCCC held a taco dinner featuring yummy tortilla and taco shells at Newman House. It was a great way to bond together, especially with some laughs over dinner. After having consumed these filling creations, we headed over to participate in Night Fever. Don't we look excited?<br />

After placing a candle, they had the opportunity to listen to the lovely music playing within the Cathedral and the chance to discover God's mercy. It was a night full of moving testimonies, wonderful music and moments of personal reflection for all. After the event, there were plenty of baked goods and hot chocolate for all.

On Saturday, November 14th, several QCCC members made the journey to downtown Toronto for the annual JU local visit. This year, the event is hosted by UTCCC at the University of Toronto, St. George Campus. The overall turnout for all CCCs was 60, the biggest in many years.

Aside from discovering some mad pumpkin carving skills and the deliciousness of roasted pumpkin seeds, we learned more about the saints through an "All Saints Bingo" activity. Who knew St. Clare of Assisi was the patroness of television (because toward the end of her life, when she was too ill to attend Mass, an image of the service would display on the wall of her cell) or that St. Francis of Assisi once preached to hundreds of birds and that they stood still as he walked among them, only flying off when he said they could leave? </div>

<br /></div>
Tonight at QCCC we played a mashup of broken telephone and pictionary! Pieces of paper with a single sentence were passed along so that the next person had to draw an image to represent the phrase. The next person would be tasked with summarizing the image in a sentence, and so on until the end of the page was reached. Needless to say, things unraveled rather quickly. "A hippo has a bubble bath" ended up as "an alien is about to abduct a cow" with some creatively interpretive images in between. We had some very eloquent writers, some very wonderful artists, and some...people that tried really hard.<br />

Not only did this activity provide cause for rollicking humour, it also put into perspective the daunting task of communication with God. While prayer is the channel through which we speak to Him, it isn't always easy to know exactly what He says to us. God speaks to us through signs; like the images in the activity, we need to learn to take these signs and interpret them in a coherent way. And as the activity quickly showed, each person can have (sometimes a radically) different interpretation from one another. </div>

Of course, it wouldn't be a QCCC night without both Saintspiration and Singspiration. We learned about Saint Francis de Sales, the patron saint of the deaf (more on the importance of interpreting signs!), as well as writers and journalists. </div>

We started off the night with "the toaster game", where we put a slice of bread into a toaster and gathered around to answer a series of questions. If the toast popped up while someone was speaking, it meant drawing two random toppings from a bag and putting it together on your toast. Yum. Except people ended up with peanut butter and cheese, frosted flakes and ketchup, balsamic vinegar and bacon, honey and herbs...yikes.<br />

Aside from discovering some surprisingly delicious combinations (you might want to try peanut butter and cream cheese), we learned some interesting new things about one another<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">—our favourite spot in Kingston, family traditions we would like to pass on, the strangest thing we have on our desk. After stuffing ourselves with bread, we went out on Tindall field for some phone light pictures! We braved the cold for the sake of art, and created some contemporary masterpieces. </span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Just in time too, because later on in the night we learned about St. Lucy, the patron saint of the blind. The name "Lucy" means "light" and her sacrifice in life taught us where to find God in our darkest moments, even if we may be blind to his presence during our suffering. May St. Lucy continue to pray for us during this year ahead as we embark on this journey for Christ. Open our eyes to the light of God and the grace that comes with His love. </span></span><br />

After days toiling away under the sun at Queen's in the Park and Sidewalk Sale, QCCC is back for another year of fun, laughter, and love. We started off the night "putting together a Rubik's Cube", as we walked around the room with six slips of paper in hand, all sporting a question in the same colour. The goal was to find people holding the five other colours and trade your slip of paper with theirs by asking the question on the paper. Only with six different colour slips in hand do you "complete" the Rubik's cube.<br />

Our next activity had people on their feet, roaring like a T-Rex, crouched like a frog, pawing at the ground like a horse. Everyone wrote down the names of ten animals and then all the sheets were compiled into a bin. Each team had one minute to act out the animal they drew from the bin and try to get as many as possible. A particular love of felines led to a rather impossible acting list involving a Siamese cat, jaguar, African golden cat, lion, and the American bobtail.<br />

Of course, QCCC Open House would not be complete without the tradition of curry fish balls, snacks, and music! We even received surprise visitors from McMaster, a Queen's alumnus, and a University of Toronto alumnus. QCCC is an ever growing family and we're always excited to see new faces join us in our journey through Queen's. We hope that as new and returning members walk with us in this new year, they will all discover the gift it is to find a family away from home. To a new year and new friends!<br />

The speaker for this year's GT was Father Francis Ching, who spoke about the Consecrated Life and the Laity. He gave us a thorough description of the three tenets of a Consecrated Life: Chastity, Poverty and Obedience, which feature prominently in the GT song and the lovely T-shirt design. Of course, there were fun activities that were Pokemon-themed, inspired by the name of the campsite, Opemikon.<br />

With as many as 150 campers attending, there are many unsung heroes that work hard to ensure the success of this camp. Spearheading the camp is the GT Committee, comprising of two QCCC grads, Stephanie and Mikey, and four members from other Catholic communities, David, Hawkins, Francis and Jennifer. They oversaw the operations of 9 working teams, covering aspects of the camp such as promotion, fundraising, first-aid, music and liturgy. We would like to thank the 30 odd working team members who spent so many hours working tirelessly to give campers an unparalleled spiritual experience.<br />
