This is the hall at St. Jude Thaddeus School we use for mass on Saturday night. This photo was on Sunday morning when the hall had been transformed into the site for the foundation day celebration for the school.

Farewell, Brother Tony….
A group of laity and church people, continuing a Maryknoll tradition of gathering every Wednesday, get together every week for liturgy and a meal together. Today was the last day that Bro. Tony Burrows (3rd left) will be with us. He returns to work in Australia on Friday.

Lots of wires
One photo target of many tourists to Phnom Penh is the mass of overhead wires above the city streets–and on the sidewalks, as in this photo. There are hundreds of wires stretching along almost every thoroughfare–and probably half of them are dead. New wires go up constantly. Old wires are rarely taken down. They’re removed only when they break and dangle in the streets. Notice the scars on the tree where limbs were amputated to make room for wires rather than running the wires in a less obtrusive fashion.

Cambodia houses 3
One characteristic of houses in the cities in Cambodia is that all the windows and doors are barred. On the left above is my front door. On top is the kitchen. The lower right corner is in my bedroom. None of the window bars or grills open. If there is a fire and the door is blocked, it’s bad news for the room occupants.
Post-Maryknoll
For almost thirty years, the Maryknoll INGO met every Wednesday. Now that Maryknoll Cambodia is no longer operating in Cambodia, some of those who used to meet continue to do so.

New Church Progress
Here is a collage of photos from the new St. Joseph Church a few days ago when the regional director of Couples for Christ met there with Bishop Olivier. Fr. Chatsirey (blue shirt) showed them the progress inside and outside the ongoing construction.
