KORCE FRIENDS, HOSTING AMERICAN SISTERS, PLANNING MEETING FOR BLIND GROUP.

TUESDAY 30 APRIL 2013 KORCE FRIENDS, HOSTING AMERICAN SISTERS, PLANNING MEETING FOR BLIND GROUP. Thank God, all has gone well since I arrived here in Korce on Monday last. I have enjoyed meeting friends. On Saturday last, two American Maryknoll Sisters had dinner here. One of the Sisters has been here in Albania for many years. The other was her Superior General or President who was en route to Rome, to attend the Conference of Major Superiors, plus their Albanian driver. A lovely surprise for me was the discovery that Sister Janice was, in fact, Irish-American as her McLaughlin parents hailed from Donegal!! So, for me, it was a very special day and I delighted in the connections made! On Sunday, I went to the nearby Orthodox Cathedral as they celebrated Palm Sunday. In the afternoon, we had a Communion Service, after which we celebrated Mother Foundress with chocolate and ice-cream. Our Church has grown since the Baptisms of Easter, so it was good to see the larger group. We were 40 persons and this included a number of visiting footballers too! Yesterday, I met with three persons from the Blind Group and we have planned a little project for these weeks. This will hopefully be continued later in the Summer. Have a good week and I will update again soon. I have added a few photos, showing the Cathedral and a few of the visitors we have had to our house. ALLELUIAS
