Thanksgiving festival


With several Americans here in Manziana for the renewal program we had an American Thanksgiving festival. Our cook Franca cooked a thirty pound turkey with stuffings. It felt like being home in the United States celebrating after our Thanksgiving Mass in the chapel. Bro. George, American Marist brother here at the residence, gave a presentation on the tradition of Thanksgiving to our brothers who reside outside the United States. We missed the punkin pie this year, but were treated with ice cream and wine.
