Seminarians enjoy themselves, too!
I know… I’ve been negligent in updating this site. In my defense, only because I’ve been enjoying myself here so much. I’ve been here for almost two weeks now. After two days of rain, finally the weather turned around to clear skies and bright sun, which is tempting me to sit outside and read a book. I just finished reading all the Chronicles of Narnia books, which are just simply amazing, and I’m getting all sorts of ideas to rework them in some sort of catechises course!
These last few days I’ve been meeting some people here in town. Two of them, Fr. James and Fr. Geoffrey, have been recently ordained. (You can check out pics of their ordination here). There is quite a nice group of young priests here in the city and in the diocese and it’s fun hanging out with them. I find it inspiring to see some young men who have made the same choice in life as I have, and to see them work in ministry.
So, apart from eating out every once in a while with these new and older friends, I’ve also spent a lot of time with Fr. Albert. He’s been so wonderful for me over all these years, and last Sunday he left for Montreal (on holidays), so I wanted to get as much time together with him as I could.
Later that day, Mark and I went to the Mass in German at Fr. Kevin’s parish, as well as a very crowded Filipino Mass (in English, thankfully) afterwards. After Mass, we took a long walk to the Forks – where the Assiniboine and the Red River meet – and had lunch at the pancake house (yum!).
The last few days I’ve also been exploring the city a bit. I’ve (of course) visited the Games Workshop store here and it made me wish I had taken some miniatures over to paint. On the other hand, now that I do not have some unpainted minis lying around, I have more time for more sensible stuff like… sitting outside and reading a book :> I hope you guys are all enjoying yourselves!
