DIOCESE OF LONDON (ONTARIO) CANADA Part Two




Got to Charlotte on time. 
Waiting to board the plane to Toronto
yesterday morning. 


FINALLY ARRIVED IN CANADA




Landing in the great city of Toronto yesterday morning. 



Miles away from downtown Toronto, the suburbs look like several small cities themselves.




Our Hotel Chapel




Bishop Fabbro leading us in Mass Monday evening.




A table of friendly priests. 




Father Nichola is from the South Sudan. He escaped the civil war and came to Canada in 2004. He is a Franciscan priest of the OFM Egypt Province. His people were evangelized by the Italians and so he and many of his family have Italian first names. Canada is very internationalized. They have priests from all over the world. 



They are beginning to gather for the first conference, 




Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Dabrowski, originally from Poland. 



Father Sebastian, a Rosarian priest, is from Sri Lanka. 




Morning Prayer




Father Jason Tellis (from India) and Father Phillip Joseph (from Pakistan).
