Sihanoukville Retreat
All the priests and bishops of Cambodia are having a retreat together this week, starting today. We are at the Catholic center in Sihanoukville on the southern coast. Getting here was quite an experience. It took 6+ hours to do 135 miles from Phnom Penh. It’s really late now so I’m not able to post the pictures from today’s trip but come back tomorrow.
First Communion
This evening at the 5:00 PM mass, thirteen of our younger children received their First Communion, always a significant marker in a Catholic child’s spiritual development. Here one of the boys reads the first reading for this weekend’s liturgy.
