Monsignor Torgerson blesses Kenya travelers

Just before the end of the 5:30pm Mass Sunday Monsignor Torgerson - Pastor of St Monica Parish - summoned all the past and present travelers to Kenya up on the altar for a send-off blessing. He asked the guidance of the Holy Spirit not only for all of us but for the people of Dandora, Kenya, who struggle each day to survive. This blessing was followed by a pot-luck dinner for the new travelers by the alumni. The camaraderie from the very first trip to Kenya 17 years ago still continues.
