Thanksgiving..

Well, I just finished celebrating my first Thanksgiving in the US. It was a fantastic meal with 30 other friars from the area. I am just stuffed though; so much different from thanksgiving in Canada. We just returned from a retreat at St Meinrad's; a Benedictine Archabbey. It was a great week, we got to meet the friars from the Assumption Province. We had a good week of getting to know each other and good discussions in our group sessions. I am very hopeful on the future of the province and my journey with the friars. The other friars were quite excited to see the Order growing and the enthusiasm we bring. It is certain that our novitiate will be moving next year, because of the lack of space at the present location.

God Bless

5 Months....

Well it's already been 5 months since i've started started formation, and things are going quite well. I am completing an assignment for my spanish class tomorrow, and heading down for night prayer in about 10 minutes. My brothers in formation are fantastic, I could'nt ask for 5 better guys to be with, we are building a fraternity that will carry on for many years and hopefully the rest of our lives.
