Hello,
Today Paul, John and Marcia went to the Missionary of Charity's (Mother Teresa's sisters) convent for Mass and to help with their lunch program while the rest of the team did preparations for the block party that is held near the Feast of St Anthony (the name sake of the men's shelter) for all of the people in the neighborhood. It's another hot day in New York so later today, we will be filling up water balloons for the party tomorrow.
When it is hot, the city opens of fire hydrants for people to play in and cool off.
To the left is St Aldebert Church where we have been having Mass and prayers each day, the center is the St.Crispin Friary, and to the right is the old school where we have been sleeping. The Friars renovated the school so on the third floor are two dorms, one for the men and one for the women.
Meghan and Olivia chopping 50 pounds of onions for the block party food tomorrow.
Deacon Jim and Lucy chopping tomatoes
Putting up tents for the block party
Just a few hot peppers for some hot sauce tomorrow!
