Ed McGovern's Birthday

3 August 2007

Fr. Ed McGovern has a home mass at the Daughters of Charity residence every Friday evening, and at the same time, Fr. Charlie Dittmeier has a liturgy for various lay missionaries. On the first Friday of each month, the two groups meet together at Ed and Charlie's house for a joint liturgy. This month the groups celebrated Ed's birthday with a dinner after the mass.

Happy participants

 

The group that meets with Ed each Friday for mass at the Daughters of Charity is composed mostly of Filipinas

And the singing started

 

The Filipino people are noted for their musical ability and soon the singing started

And then the sisters got down

 


Even the Daughters of Charity got together for a song

Shoes outside on the porch

 


A common sight at a gathering in Cambodia are the shoes left on the porch when people enter the house
