New Canons of the Cathedral of Ascension

 Two priests from New York known for doing good works were installed as Canons last Friday.

Rev. Canon Kino Vitelli and Rev. Canon Michael Lopez. Both work closely with the marginalized. Michael is a monk in the Benedictine Monastery in New York City, This order has food and medical truck serving the needs on the street. Food truck called The Hungry Monk Rescue Truck.  Reminded me of my days at Street Health in the late 80’s.  

Those standing around with regalia on makes for a strange scene.

In group pic Michael is on Bishops right and kino on the left.

internet blues continues

 Had to get creative to get pics up here. This collage is the launch of the urinals, 

Great difficulty with internet

 Since last weekend , not able to get on line with computer to post pics of toilet launch. I am on my iPad so just words. Launch went well, I cut the ribbon and all the kids cheered. The Precentor prayed and all was well. Three weeks tomorrow I will land in Toronto. I understand your weather is terrible so for now all who have influence temp of 70 F would be really nice. Lol

It is rainy season so daytime temp may get up to 33c and down below 20 c at night, need a blankly as I am cold. It’s all relative it seems. Hopefully I can get internet on computer soon so I can show pics. 

LAUNCH OF THE TOILETS

 Tomorrow the Primary School in front of my house has completed new toilets and urinals for students and teachers. I thought in preparation for the official opening of them I would create a poem to celebrate this event ... so here it goes

FOR EACH VISIT TO DO

A SIGH OF RELIEF

THEN BID IT ADIEU

Paint needed

 The JK/SK attached to the cathedral needs many things. This year they are needing paint to freshen up the environment.  This is the same school a few years ago, that a project brought water to the school. This school continues to struggle as the government pays the teacher and head mistress salary but no support to maintain the buidling (the gov't claims free education but only supplied the teachers).  So the painter has been contracted and painting will start soon.  pics to follow ...

Dresses that fit

 A donor from St. Matthews on the Mountain in Hamilton makes what she calls  'pillow case dresses'. Dresses made from pillowcases. She adds a pocket, trim and little embellishments to result in the dress being quite cute.
