Dear readers,

I will be out of town next week, so there will be no new posts until the week of July 5th.

We will be heading first to Michigan, where my daughter will be doing a one-week pre-aspirancy (kinda like an orientation) with the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist. She is one of I believe 28 girls who plan to enter the community later this summer on August 28th (feast of St. Augustine). It will be cool for the rest of the family to check out the place! Here's their website.

Please pray for these beautiful young women, and also for the safety of all travelers next Fourth of July weekend!
