Today was a day of packing, closure, and celebration. We had a session this morning on closure and sharing of our time here during the past 99 days. In the afternoon most of us spent time packing and getting ready to leave on Tuesday morning. After a beautiful Mass at 4:00 pm, we had a delicious and relaxing dinner with all the trimmings. Enjoying conversation during dinner were Fr. Rudy from Costa Rico, Fr. Roland from Hawaii, Sr. Cheryl from Minnesota, and Fr. Ron from Brazil. Aloha and Mabuhay as we depart to our religious communities, parishes and ministries. It has been a blessed and joyous time for each one of us. I am so grateful for this opportunity to share life with these men and women. Until we meet again, may God bless us as we give thanks and praise for these shared and precious moments.
