Today was the last day that Mass will be celebrated in St Paul Church for a while. Tomorrow the renovation process will begin. We’ll be celebrating Mass in the gym of the school – the first building to house the celebration of the Mass when the parish was young – until the renovation process is complete. It’s hard for us to think of this as the “old” church since we vividly remember the last renovation of the church interior in 1979. Guess we’ve been a part of this community for a while! We even remember a time before the parish had a website!
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
