Day 50, Sept. 29

Today, I was taken to see a school which currently goes from first to ninth grade. The man who is the founder/head of the trust running it/headmaster and chief salesman for it needs to expand it to 12th grade to make sure the students persevere to college. But, he, more desperately needs $19,000.00 to add three classrooms the State inspector says he must have by the next school year to stay accredited. It is a great school doing great things. It is a frustration to know Love & Care does not have that kind of money. In the real world that is not much of a request. I wish we could find someone or some organization to provide tht sum.
That evening, after the Mass for the Archangels, Father had a number of young priests over for supper. It was a rowdy bunch and, after a small period of feeling eh other out, we got loud and funny and sharp in our repartee. A good time was had by all. To boot, I learned a lot about priesthood in the Diocese of Trichy.
