Recent Cruise

Our recent travel was not visiting the Philippines; but met many wonderful people who live in the Philippines and work on the cruise ship we were on.  It was great! Now I am getting ready to leave Canada for India. I travelled there in 2012 and 2013 for a surgery which I could not get in Canada.  I met many wonderful friends there and GOD has blessed me again to be able to return.  I am going to be there more than 2 months.

It is interesting to know that there are millions of Catholics in the south where I stayed and the city is called Chennai (formerly Madras).  In 2012, I found out on the internet that St. Thomas, Jesus' doubting apostle, is buried there in a tomb under the St. Thomas Cathedral.  After Mass one morning, I visited the tomb and it was so touching and emotional, I could hardly breathe.  Last year for Mass, I went to St. Anthony's Shrine.
The Mass had already began when I got there and there is about 100 steps or more to go up into the Church where the Mass was being celebrated, so I visited the chapel on the lower level where they have Mass during the week.  I met many wonderful people while there.  I am sooo blessed.

Here are a couple of pictures of my friends from the Philippines who worked on the cruise ship.
