MONDAY MASS, MANY VISITORS AND PICNIC!!

10 MAY 2012 MONDAY MASS, MANY VISITORS AND PICNIC!! We were happy to welcome Fr. Marek, OFM for Mass on Sunday afternoon. Afterwards, he told us he could come for Mass at 7.00a.m. on Monday. This was a special treat for us. As Father Marek was travelling by minibus back to Fier, we invited him to breakfast. Already, Natalino, Superior General of the Maltese Society was coming, with David, the local Superior. Then, we added three Sisters, Franciscans, from Bilisht, so we had a full house! All our guests had left well before 9.00a.m. so, shortly after, I was en route to the city centre to join a group outing. This was the group of blind persons, a number of whom had minders on Monday. We went to a very nice wooded area about half an hour from the city where we had a very enjoyable morning. All enjoyed a great picnic too and we were back in the city by 1.00p.m. Today, I visited the Mary Potter Clinic for the first time this year. My long absence was due to the continuing snow that went on right up to mid-March in our part of the city. Then, with Easter a visit was postponed until now. The Hospice, which is non-residential is really busy. Today, they were a few staff short due to staff training, so time was very limited. Most of their work is done out in the villages, so they give a very comprehensive service indeed. Have a good weekend. I go to Tirana for a meeting on Saturday
