GOOD SHEPHERD SISTERS,
337 EAST 17TH. STREET,
NEW YORK 10003
9TH. JULY 2010
All went well yesterday following my early morning exit from Kilmacud, courtesy of Dolores. I was surprised when Immigration was very efficiently completed in Dublin thus freeing up our arrival in New York. Aer Lingus hospitality - cold drinks on entering the plane, lunch, plus tea and scones just before arrival shortened the journey. Also, I had a Dublin rugby enthusiast beside me and he regaled me with fragments of their story and plans for his coming holiday in Long Island! This left little time for the films that were available on our personal screens!
We arrived an hour ahead of schedule and it was great to meet Winifred. We came here directly. This is a very solid four or five storey building where we live on the second floor. Paulette joined us later - Sister is responsible for the many Good Shepherd Services in this part of New York, including the three groups of teenagers with problems that live in this house.
Winifred and I went off to a nearby Mass and later began to make a plan for the next few weeks. By the way, it is hot here - its being billed almost as a problem with all sorts of hints on how to keep cool. We'll take it one day at a time please God.
I promise to keep in touch!
