Everyone is home - Just in Time!

I returned home Monday Evening from Vancouver - having celebrated the Marriage of Sonia Susin & Mark McElligott.  I have known Mark for over 12 years (when he had hair on his head!), but have known Sonia just under a year. I met her last October when I was in Alberta celebrating the marriage of Mark's Cousin - Suzanne to Cody Kempster.  The weather in Vancouver co-operated and Saturday was a marvelous celebration.  In fact there were a number of celebratory meals outside of Saturday Evening's reception.  The McElligott's had many family members over at their house on Friday afternoon and evening, and again on Sunday for Brunch.  After Brunch we celebrated Mass in the family home - with the Newlyweds seated in a place of honour... They then went over to Sonia's parents home to have dinner with her family that came in from Spain, Italy, and Belgium!  It was a great few days of celebration!



Our 4 Pilgrims to World Youth Day in Madrid returned home Tuesday afternoon. Erin, Mike, JP, and Jolene all survived the crazy 3:00 am wake up call, the 6 am flight from Madrid to Rome and the 9 hour flight from Rome to Toronto! They have stories of great joy and even some tears shed, as they left their host families!
Welcome home folks!
Peace
