28 September 2009 Diamond and Chateau Day in Brussels
Yesterday was very special - the Jubilee Celebration was delightful with marvellous music. Towards the end of the Liturgy, the local Abbe - Parish Priest - who is also the Communications Manager for the Church in Belgium, missioned us to Albania and presented us with a unique little statue. The people were most interested and asked many questions when we gathered in our old Good Shepherd Chateau for drinks and savouries. This Chateau was once the residence of the exiled King of France and is now home to a lay Good Shepherd Community of ten families. Later, the invited friends had a festive meal in the Chateau - one of the caterers informed me they cater for three Ambassadors including the Irish! I could well believe him as the standard of the menu was excellent.
We returned to Mons in the late afternoon and prepared for the reality of today when we took a little time time to rejoice with our German companion for their Election success.
