30th. MAY 2011 SPECIAL SURPRISE VISITOR TO OUR HOME!!
A telephone call on Friday afternoon, informed us that our Papal Nuncio, Mons. Ramiro Moliner Ingles, would be in Korce on Saturday and would visit us. We felt really privileged as this was his first visit to Korce. He was meeting with the Orthodox Bishop.
In the late afternoon, Mons. arrived here and was shortly joined by two companions. There were three of us, as Amira had been working in Pogradec and got back just in nice time to meet the visitors. The Papal Nuncio is Spanish. He very simply entered our reality and we had a very encouraging discussion. Previously, he had been Nuncio in Ethiopia, Venzuela and Papua New Guinea. He seemed to know our Sisters and our work focus from the first two countries.
As they were leaving, we walked with them to the site of the old Catholic Church, now home to four families. The visitors had asked to see it and hear a little of its history.
Yesterday, we were a little surprised that we had no Mass for a second Sunday in a row. This was unusual so early in the Summer.
Mirjam has just been in touch from Rome. She even managed a few photos too!
Enjoy the week!
