GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER?

It's my friend Bishop Jason Gordon of Barbados! 






He is here visiting his seminarian at Saint Meinrad Seminary. He will be staying at my house overnight on Thursday so that I can get him to the airport very early on Friday.



APPRECIATION DINNER NUMBER TWO 

Below are some photos of my second appreciation dinners for some of those who have supported my mission projects, especially in his former Diocese of  Kingstown in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
I hope to plan another dinner when he comes back through and invite some others.
 Anyone who would like to be on the list can contact me.

UPCOMING
DIOCESE OF BRIDGETOWN, BARBADOS, 2016 PRIEST RETREAT

I will be leading Bishop Gordon's annual priest retreat the week of November 13-18 - just ten days away. This will be my 16th priest retreat or parish mission this year and my last plane trip of the year. I am looking forward to some rest before starting up again in Lent.
