Sunday was a great day. It began with a great breakfast followed by group time for reflection. We went to San Jacinto for noon Mass and were greeted by children holding placards with our names. During Mass Fr. Joe did a marriage and presented the family a Bible and the groom a broom telling he was supposed to help his wife -- the church broke up.
After Mass we had lunch at the Retreat Center, went to an art colony in Catacaos for shopping, and then to an orphanage with 100 teenage girls who hung on to us, danced with us, and served us cake for Father's Day. A visit there puts the rest of the world into perspective. You got to be there because words cannot describe it.
We finished the day with one more standing-room-only Mass back at the parish. There was a spiritual concert afterwards in the auditorium. Most of us got to spend time with our sponsored families before and after Mass. My goddaughter made me a Father Day card.

Tomorrow we go to work. More about that later. Hasta mañana.
