| snowy and cold day at Sacred Heart Apostolic School today |
The last few days I’ve been here at Sacred Heart Apostolic
School in Rolling Prairie, Indiana. I gave my priestly memoirs (vocation story)
to the boys on the 31st, and right now I’m helping out at the annual
Christmas Games, when boys from around the Midwest come here to play and
compete against each other along with the students here at the school.

Tomorrow I’m celebrating one of my first masses. It’s a big
feastday – the anniversary of the foundation of my congregation – so it should
be a beautiful mass.

| posada procession |
This evening we had a “posada”, a special meal that starts
with a candlelight procession through the house. The idea is to accompany Mary
and Joseph as they searched for a place for the first Christmas. The procession
gets rejected at several stops, but is finally welcomed into the dining room
where we have a huge meal. They put on the posada in honor of all of the new
priests (though I was the only one present!). It was a lot of fun, and I even
got to run the Bingo game!
I would like to reimburse the school for the costs of the
posada, so if anyone would like to help, I think it probably cost them $400 or
so for the food (cheeseburgers and French fries and ice cream) for the 60 of
us. If you’d like to help, you could make a donation online through paypal,
or send one, my address is 7196 Willowood Drive, Cincinnati, OH 45241.
It sure is tiring keeping up with 60 boys, but I love it! We
played capture the flag today, and though we almost all froze solid, there’s
nothing like it.
May God bless you all,
Father Kevin
