Video Blog: Vatican City State
While taking a break from the books, I decided to film a short video for my blog. Do people even like video blogs or should I keep my regular, text-based blog? At least the video blog is 1) faster, 2) easier, and 3) faster. Did I mention that a video blog is faster to put together? haha. Enjoy this short clip and please continue to pray for me during this final stretch of exams!
Arrivederci!
Cake at Reception.
After the weekend Masses at my home parish, St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church, Fr. Boyer held a reception in my honor to commemorate my upcoming move to Rome. The reception gave me the chance to meet many of the parishioners from St. Mark’s that I did not know, but also gave me a chance to say “farewell” to many of my friends from the parish. I have been a member of St. Mark’s for about fifteen years and I already know how hard it will be to not be able to pray in the beautiful sanctuary for the next two years. However, my prayers will be with the parish family that helped shape me into the person that I have become.
A few words after Mass to the parish
I am planning on keeping everyone at St. Mark’s updated with what is going on with me in Rome by writing letters for the Church bulletin and also through this blog. I know that everything will really begin to speed up in the coming months, but I at least have the intention of keeping everyone up-to-date!
I am now five days away from flying to Rome, Italy. My main priority today is to obtain a new Driver’s License. More to come later!
