After Christmas Eve Mass, we gathered in the Novitiate for a little Christmas celebration, complete with apple juice and cookies. Karoli, Joseph, Paschal, and Valentino provide some music…Livinus is out of range, playing the drums.
I was tired and needed to get to sleep for the next day’s liturgies. First stop was the outstation at Tarani where I would baptize a newly born girl of two weeks! It was a beautiful morning, and the choir was ready with “yours truly” bringing up the rear!
Any bodily similarities between me and St. Francis are purely coincidental!
Leonsi was my right-hand-man, helping me baptize Consolata.
Distribution of Holy Communion.
Leonsi wished everyone a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.
After the solemn Christmas blessing, we were off to two more outstations. With the baptism, we were late, and now we were in a real hurry!
