Hello Mausicans
Imagine , two years ago we started to plan for a touchdown at Pt Saline Airport... now it's the Maurice Bishop Airport! So much can change in a short space of time. I wonder if we could gather some time during our short week to sing something symbolic at that airport... Lift every voice and sing? Just a thought.
The past week has been wonderful here. On Pentecost Sunday we celebrated Mass in our new Church building which will be officially dedicated on June 18th. THis is the new Parish Church of St Patrick which replaces the one in Plymouth, the now buried capital, lost to the volcano over the past 14 years. To add to our joy we learnt that our Parish Priest, Father George Agger, is to spend another 3 years with us on Montserrat. It is not at all amazing that each priest over the years has brought something unique to respond to the need of the particular time. God is always looking after His people.
Today we await the arrival of son Graham. He will be here for a short while before returning to New Zealand via one or two of the nearby islands... he has been gaining expertise in Geothermal skills over the past 16 months. We feel truly blessed.
I can't believe it is now time to say...SEE YOU NEXT MONTH IN GRENADA!!. love and blessings....Pat
My camera got broken some time ago. Graham brings a replacement today so I will let you see what the Church looks like now in my future blog. Pat
