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. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">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. </span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Our work with the visiting groups came to a sudden halt in February 2020 due to the pandemic.

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!</span></font></div><div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></span></font></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I hope this gives you an idea about “who I am”… Am I sufficiently “revealed”? 🤣</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I send fond regards and many blessings from this community called Consuelo (<i>Consolation</i>). </span></div><div dir="ltr"><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Dean. </div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><img alt="image1.jpeg" src="cid:3F704482-A5E3-45A6-856A-21686339D3B4-L0-001"><br></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br></div><div style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">-::-::-::-</div></div><div dir="ltr"><br>On Apr 4, 2023, at 12:31 AM, Mary Lou Jorgensen-Bacher via Sundaycommunity <sundaycommunity@lists.integralshift.ca> wrote:<br><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div class="ydp55332084yahoo-style-wrap" style="font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Thank YOU Dean.
