First Full Day in Detroit = Full of God's Grace

Greetings friends and family readers of Detroit ABST 2015! Maddie Zurinsky here reporting on our first full day in Detroit and what a day it was! Our day consisted three main activities: Mass, the Detroit Historical Museum, and finally a tour of downtown Detroit. 
We started off our morning by attending Mass at Sacred Heart Parish. The congregation was incredibly and overwhelmingly welcoming. It was absolutely beautiful. We all took away something very special from the Mass. Right after Mass we were invited to the community center of the parish for a brunch consisting of fried chicken, grits, scrambled eggs, and toast. Yum! With our food in hand we all went off and chatted with the different members of the parish. Each parishioner had their own unique story to tell.
Following our incredible and wonderful experience at Sacred Heart we headed off to the Detroit Historical Museum. The humanities majors in the van were very excited, while others were content! :) Some favorite exhibits from the museum included a live action assembly line of cars and the slavery exhibit.
After the museum we went on a spontaneous tour of Detroit. Our tour included visiting the GM Global Headquarters, posing by the Fist and the Spirit Detroit, and warming up halfway through by a random fire pit. 
Overall, our first full day in Detroit was a complete success and full of God's graces! Keep watching for more blog posts, there will be plenty more to come!
God Bless! - Maddie
