John
Korcsmar went to Peru to give a course on the spirituality of
social justice at the novitiate. Each day began with morning prayer
at 6:30 a.m. Fortunately for John, Fr. Jaime
Phalan makes the first pot of coffee, early in the morning
before the sun gets up.
Each Friday the postulants come
for Mass and dinner. Usually, they play a hard-fought game of soccer
before Mass.
