Multiple blessings

There was a conference this week.  Participants had been invited from near and far to spend a day together, learning, questioning, discussing, contributing.  The organizers were members of the Ontario State Council of the Knights of Columbus, and the invitees were Chaplains, priests from various locales within Ontario.

The dust still hasn't settled, but already we know that these few hours have been richly rewarding.  Where once some of us did not quite understand our roles, we now have a new appreciation for the expectations that are placed upon us.  Armed with this knowledge, we must now inform others who need to know this info, so that we can be of better service to those we are called to serve.

As is often the case with these gatherings, some of the participants are contemporaries or collegues who don't get too many occasions to visit or to catch up with one another, so an integral part of the proceedings is a social dimension that allows for relaxed chatting, visiting and just getting caught up with one another.

Thanks for a wonderful day of blessings that will bear fruit in ways that we have not yet discovered.
