Taking the plunge

My first full day on the Island:

So I met with Father Nagel and Michele Roberts to talk about my Apostolate this summer.
They suggested that I give mediations after Mass on Monday and Thursday, which sounded great to me. Also we are looking at possibilities for doing some work with the port Apostolate program. I suggested that it might be nice to have Eucharistic Adoration daily, which both agreed to.

I am also thinking about a couple of possible courses which I could run: possibly one on the Psalms?? I am talking suggestions from parishioners about other topics.

Other than that I prayed a little, started a (hopefully) daily practice of going to the beach for a walk and I jumped in to Vineyard Life (Literally) feet first... the kids seemed to be having so much fun jumping off the Beach Rd bridge every day when I passed that I decided to try it too. Now I am afraid of heights so it was a little bit of a challenge for me to let go, but once I did it was great fun. I did it three times in honor of the most Blessed Trinity, and then thanked God that I had survived. I am sure all my readers at the Seminary and my friends around the country will enjoy a picture so I will try to get one.

The day ended well with dinner out with a priest visiting from Arizona and with Compline.
