Off to Brazil
Fr. Nicholas, the priest in charge of the parish that runs the girls' school, left yesterday to be a missionary in Brazil. He is moving into the City of God in Rio de Janeiro. We will miss him very much, as God has used him to care for many people here in Camden Town. The photo is of him serving communion one last time yesterday. It was very moving to receive the bread from him. The girls had found a friend from Andi's class at the service, and she came up with us. Nicholas took it in turn to bless all three of them, and as he did, I got tears in my eyes.

I remember the days of taking you, Andrew and Mark to be blessed at St. Tim's before you were old enough for communion- very moving.
Love,
Mom
If anyone hasn't seen the movie 'City of God', I highly recommend it - it's graphic, but it's reality for the people and children of that city.
