Christmas, New Year's, and Epiphany have all been busy. As
wonderful as the liturgical seasons of Advent, Christmas, and later Lent
and Easter time are, it is always nice to return to the green of Ordinary
(that is, ordered) time.
We got word from Bruce Bacia
that he has had a bout with cancer. He had one
surgery in May and a second one recently. Fortunately, things went well
with the surgeries, and they did catch the cancer very early on.
Nevertheless, please keep Bruce, his wife, Deyanira, and their children in
your prayers. Bruce was a temporarily professed seminarian in the Indiana
Province. He and John Korcsmar
made their novitiate together in Bennington and
professed in 1968.
John Korcsmar
flew down to Lima for the first profession of three novices from the
Southern Province and the reception of another into the novitiate. The
three Southern Province novices professing are
- Mario Guzmán González,
- Javier Herminio Garcia,
- and Alfredo Olvera Ledesma
,
along with
Presvítero
Delgado Delgado,fof
the District of Perú,
Luiz Carlos
Camelo Gaspar, of the
District of Brazil (CP), and
Aquilino Torres
Palomino, of the
District of Perú
