<div dir="ltr">Hello Mary Lou!</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">“Who are you?” is often a tough question to respond to… I’ll be as brief as possible…</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">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. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
</span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="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="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
</span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">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. 🙏🏼 </span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><br>
</span></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font color="#000000"><span style="">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!</span></font></div>

<div dir="ltr"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">I hope this gives you an idea about “who I am”… Am I sufficiently “revealed”? 🤣</span></div>
