Sunday lunch in English!

The table was set and ready to go for the Sunday meal.

Last Sunday we invited a group of young people to share lunch with us in our house. It was also an opportunity for the group to practise their English in a social setting. The three lay missionaries – Angelica, Jorge and Alfredo; four of our English students – Joao, Jeny, Martin and David; and a German girl who is working in the parish for a year – Anna. Unfortunately Jeny and Martin could not attend because of work commitments, however, Father Mick, Kate and Gerry were present.
The crowd gathers for lunch. From left to right we have Marion and Joao in deep conversation; Jorge clowning around for the camera; Alfredo, Anna, David partly hidden and Angelica make up the group.
Kate and Marion were the main chefs for the day – and very good ones at that! In fact Kate prepared and presented for all her renowned apple crumble and cream.



The meal is served and obviously Kate and Marion seem to be enjoying their efforts while Mick makes sure he has photographic proof of the day.
