START PRAYING NOW FOR ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL MISSION TRIP!

 I'M LEAVING WEDNESDAY ON MISSION TRIP 
#10
June 20 - June 28


It's Going to Be a Very Busy Visit 

- get there through four airports
- lead a Permanent Deacon Retreat
- preside at Sunday Masses in three parishes
- meet with Bishop County
- assess progress so far and review future goals
- visit the two orphanages I sponsor to assess needs
- meet with the country's Minister of Health
 - finalize plans for the July kids computer camp
- get back through four airports

I AM EXCITED, BUT ALREADY DREADING THE FLIGHTS

MAYBE THIS TIME I WILL GET A BREAK



Four of the eleven boxes already sent down for this trip - things collected mostly for kids. 

If you are in the mood, there's still time to help me help the Caribbean missions!

Bishop County, flanked by two of his Deacons. 

Some of the religious Sisters greeting Bishop County on the day of his installation as bishop of the Diocese of Kingstown, SVG. The Mass was held at a pavilion at a local Community College. 

That's me baptizing six babies last December.

THE BLOOD OF A MISSIONARY MARTYR
???????



Tripped over a concrete barrier in a dimly lit Barbados Airport parking lot going to the car with Bishop Gordon.



Tripped on a defective stairwell step in a Toronto Hotel when both elevators were
"down." I was leading a priest retreat to raise money for the missions.
