After 7:30am Mass we went out to breakfast with the breakfast club. It was a good time all around, visiting with some great people.
Later we returned to church for the annual parish picnic. This year marked the 30th anniversary of the founding of this parish. It was a great success. Richard estimated that over 600 people were fed. 20 shoulders, weighing an average of 20#, were served
Brenda and I had volunteered to help. I chopped the pork that was being served and Brenda collected the money for the meat that was sold. We left about 3:30pm saying our goodbyes to family and friends.
We got a picture of the 2 priests that are assigned to Nativity. They are both wonderful dedicated men. Father Mickey has had an assignment change to oversee the priests retirement home as well as work for the diocese. We hope that we will see him on our return to Memphis in April next year.
Father Mike, who is the pastor, is a catholic Mel Brooks. He can be so funny and his homilies are very inspiring. He even laughs at his own jokes.
The weather has been good and the ground has dried out so we are moving the coach to the driveway this morning in preparation for our departure this week.
Ta ta for now
