BIRTHDAY PARTY ON THE BEACH
Last night, Bishop County, the Irish volunteers, myself and several church workers all went to a beach front restaurant to celebrate Martin's (see yesterday's post) birthday. We had a great time laughing and teasing each other. Even though it was his birthday, poor Martin was stuck with the bar bill. Don't know if it is a local custom or just a cruel joke!

OUR WORLD YOUTH DAY SPONSOREES
Meet the dynamic Mrs. Tomiko Browne
Diocesan Youth Coordinator
That's her also in the middle, right, below,
The "pizza party" ended up being a "Subway Sandwich Party" at one of the two local Subway Sandwich Shops in downtown Kingstown. All those in the photo are being sponsored by R J Mission Projects and live on the island of St. Vincent. The other three from the outer islands could not make it because of the travel time.
All seemed to be very excited about being able to take this "chance of a life-time" and "eye-opening" trip to Krakow, Poland. They will get to see Pope Francis, thousands of young Catholics from around the world, the birthplace of Saint John Paul II, London and Paris.
Even though we are able to sponsor seven youth, there are twenty-four in all going. The diocesan Youth Ministry office has been working hard for months to make this happen. We are happy to be able to assist in making it possible for so many to go from this small country.
WORLD YOUTH DAY will be celebrated in July.
