Latest Update

Well it has been a while but internet access is hard to come by. I am with a group in McDonalds drinking COLD Coca Cola and using wifi.

Yesterday we traveled to Chartes to tour the cathedral. We celebrated mass in the Crypt of our Lady of the Underground. It was quite emotional and moving. Following mass we had time for lunch and shopping. Lunch was french onion soup--yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

In the afternoon we had a guided tour of the cathedral--what a story I will tell when I return.

When we returned to Le Mans the lay participants met with the organizers for a review of how things are going. We were given our charge to spread Holy Cross througout our lives.

Today we spent the day at the Centre learning about the mission of Holy Cross and about other leaders in Holy Cross including Sister Madaleva. It was a long day.

Early in the morning the priests, brothers and sisters from Bangladesh celebrated mass for us at the tomb of Fr. Moreau. Another moving experience.

While I am not taking pictures I have access to many and will certainly share with you when I return., I have made great friends and feel very close to the group here.

Tomorrow we travel to the Solemens and on Thursday to the Grand Trappe Abbey.

I will try to get on line at least one more time.
