Jonathan Inman's Post

Hello everyone! I'm enjoying my time in New Zealand, despite the harsh weather and what the New Zealander's describe as a harsh winter. First off, their idea of a harsh winter has them out on the beach in shorts and t-shirts. However, the water's too cold to swim in. Boo hoo.

It's been a privilege to serve the Masses for Fr. Lange and Fr. Lovell. Some have been rather interesting, like the one in the dark. Nevertheless, serving Mass is a great privilege as always. Their cathedral is also a beautiful church, with some of the best stained glass windows I've ever seen. I'm looking forward to observing it some more on the free day tomorrow.

I also feel it necessary to compliment New Zealand's hotel showers. They have very good water pressure. An oddity for hotels.

God bless,
Jonathan

We knew that something was up when we attended 7:00 a.m. mass this morning and both Fr. Lange and you were not there. You both were missed!
Jonathan, is your mother on the trip also?
We hope you have a safe and spiritually rewarding experience.
God bless,
Maryanne and Henry Kaht
