I too am blessed with Dean's friendship.  He's a brilliant tory-teller with a great sense of humour.
Peace

Hello Mary Lou!

“Who are you?” is often a tough question to respond to… I’ll be as brief as possible…

I’m originally from Calgary Alberta… I’m a Social Worker (BSW; University of Calgary 1989)… I joined the Scarboro Foreign Mission Society as a lay missioner in 1990 and was missioned to Consuelo in the eastern part of the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 in the spring of 1991. Once here I developed a program for visiting Canadian Catholic high school students and their teacher / chaplain / adult co-participants. Most of our groups hail from southern Ontario.

My association with Scarboro Missions came to an end in the fall of 2001 but I have continued here in the DR on my own with the support of the local Bishop and Diocese.

Our work with the visiting groups came to a sudden halt in February 2020 due to the pandemic. Now, more than 3 years later, a number of group coordiantors are exploring the possibility of bringing groups to Consuelo from their schools once again. 🙏🏼

These visiting groups, especially the adult co-participants, formed an important network of people that kept me linked to my Canadian reality. Not having this link over these past three years has been very difficult for me personally. I was able to connect with the Sunday Community a few weeks ago (via my friendship with Art Bloome) and now find the weekly liturgy (and the wonderful reflections shared in advance of each liturgy) are a good way for me to rebuild my connections with people at home once again - and being part of this faith community has been life giving for me personally. I thank the community for welcoming me so warmly!

I hope this gives you an idea about “who I am”… Am I sufficiently “revealed”? 🤣

I send fond regards and many blessings from this community called Consuelo (Consolation).

Dean.
