While it was not part of the parish visit per se, I had a chance to celebrate Mass at Immaculate Heart of Mary church in Garden River this afternoon before heading back to Sudbury. It is a lovely church with lovely people.
This is me with Father Mugisha, the parish priest there. I was invited to wear the beautiful buckskin chasuble they have on hand. A lovely garment, drawn from the local culture, and people were delighted to see it.
I also got a tour of the rectory of the parish, which is currently unoccupied. We discussed the possibility of my doing a visit there some time next summer. I'm looking forward to it!
