Where I Live

Well as of now, a handful of people, particularly some curious relatives, have asked just where it is I'm living this Summer, so I figured I'd do a brief post about it.  Three of us,--Fr. Steve, Bro. Peter, and I--live at the Mission House.  You can click on all of these pictures for a larger view.  This is what it looks like from the street:

The building four Sisters, who work for the Southern Missions, live in.  It's right behind our house.

St. Edmund's Memorial Chapel (formerly St. Elizabeth's, the black parish until 1971) is connected to the Mission House.

The church building is now divided into three parts consisting of a meeting room (not pictured), our house chapel...

... and the community room where we do things like watch the news, play cards, and listen to Bro. Peter make up lyrics to Mexican songs.

Our lovely front yard.

This is directly across the street from the Southern Missions, Inc. offices.  Oh hey, offices.  Didn't see you over there!

A block away is the Edmundite Center of Hope.  Here is located the Bosco Food Kitchen, which serves free lunch 365 days a year, youth and adult education programs, and the offices for financial assistance.  I'll upload a picture of this some other time along with the St. Edmund's Learning Center.  It'll be something for you to look forward to.

These two fellows, Fr. Myhalyk (former director of the Southern Missions, current pastor of St. John the Baptist parish in Montgomery) and Fr. Steve (former outreach director for the Missions, current pastor of Queen of Peace parish) oversaw the construction of the Center of Hope.  They're good guys.

Here is a modest shot of our library.  There are many wonderful books in here, and I absolutely adore libraries.

Finally, this is a hallway that goes alongside the entirety of St. Edmund's Memorial Chapel.  It is a nice place to pray, read, or reflect on your day.

And hey, we're on Facebook.  Check us out!
