Going back to the Dominican Republic

Posted on Apr 21, 2009

Since my last post Lent, Holy Week, and Easter Day have come and gone.  I have been busy this week preparing for Youth Sunday (April 26) while also preparing to leave that same Sunday afternoon for the Dominican Republic.  I will return on Friday May 1.  A few months ago Bishop Daniel asked me along with a few others to join him on a trip to the Dominican Republic.  The purpose of the trip is to explore the possibility of having a companion relationship with the Diocese of the Dominican Republic.  While there we will tour Episcopal medical clinics, schools, and churches.  I will attempt to blog while in the Dominican Republic.  Below is a sampling of our itinerary:
