DIOCESE OF JEFFERSON CITY (continued)



A BISHOP AND HIS PRIESTS TOGETHER FOR A WEEK OF LEARNING



Dinner First Night. That's Bishop John Gaydos in the lime green shirt.

The Hospitality Room Begins to Fill Up



Father Clark, the newest ordained, has to be related to the Clarks from the Catholic Holy Land of central Kentucky who moved west a couple of hundred years ago. There are a lot of central Kentucky Catholic names out here.



Daily Mass



Father Clark leads the con-celebration of the Mass.



Six of the eight African priests serving in the Diocese of Jefferson City, Missouri.
They are from Ghana, Nigeria and Uganda.



Father John and his diabetes service dog, Lily, have been friends for years.



Faithful Lily takes a break. I met Lily three years ago. She is "getting up there in age," but she can "smell" when her master needs insulin and aggressively lick his hand to let him know.



Another day ends at the Four Seasons Lodge on  Lake of the Ozarks
