All Saints, All Souls, and a Cow...

A devout cow, created by one of the children I'm preparing for First Holy Communion. Hopefully, the cow will be ready too...

The Lanherne bonfire to get rid of branches these guys (one pictured) generously cut down this week. Unlike Texas, where the challenge is getting anything to burn. You don't worry about fire spreading.

Dear Friends and Family,

It was a blessed week, with All Saints and All Souls highlighting the week. Other blessings included the visit of a couple from London, who proudly told me of their many children, and many grandchildren, of whom a great many boys serve the Latin Mass at St. Bede's in London. Though on vacation in Newquay, they made a point of taking a taxi each morning to attend the 8AM Mass at Lanherne, so as not to miss Mass for a single day!

Another blessing was the visit of Fr. Reginald from the Dominicans of St. Vincent Ferrer (see here: https://www.chemere.org ). He very kindly is covering for me here during my trip to North America and arrived a day early so we could visit. It was nice to spend the day speaking French again, and particularly interesting since he recently obtained his doctorate in canon law from Rome, and is also quite interested in the contemplative life.

But since I have to catch a plane tomorrow and still need to finish packing, I'd best sign off.

For some of you... see you soon!

In Cordibus Iesu et Mariae,
Fr. Pillari
