August 2010 - An update on the Team:
Fr. Nick is supplying at a parish, St. Thomas More in Darien, Connecticut. It is an area very close to Manhattan, NY where many of the people work. He goes there for a month every year. He writes an article called “Punchline” for their Sunday notices. This is the current article for the celebration of the Assumption.
Fr. Mike is at the center and getting ready for cataract surgery. He is also taking care of some domestic duties, such as car repair, cleaning, cooking and being with friends and neighbors who miss us when we are gone.
Last night our dear friend and neighbor, George Zick, died. As 72 Disciples they have given the gift of property and onsite caretaking for us while we are on the road. George and Lori have been part of our community at our center. So there will be a sad funeral this week.
Sr. Joan is also at the center enjoying the companionship of her one and only sister, Bette.

Bette lives in California but has come to be with Joan for her hip replacement surgery which will be Aug. 17 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota, about 150 miles from here. Mike, Joan and Bette will be in Rochester from Aug. 15-around the 25th.
God Bless You and love,
Joan and also Mike and Nick
