Fr. Antony and I have been blessed with two wonderful parishes. The hard part is being present in such a large community. For Fr. Antony everything is so new and he is learned so fast. We have started visiting our four schools. It is great that we can get into every classroom every two weeks. Fr. Antony is more comfortable with the younger children so he is taking the junior grades, entertaining them with Bible stories. I have the joy of connecting with the older kids. This means that we are out of the office midday on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Our Ashes Wednesday Services went well with only a few hitches, I look forward to celebrating Easter. In the mean time we enter into preparation for the renewal of our baptism at Easter. The work of this spiritual springtime is to prepare the soil of our daily routines for the seed of life.
