This has been quite an unbelievable summer. I got to visit Lourdes, France, walk the Camino Francés, visit Fatima, Portugal, walk the Vía de la Plata and attend World Youth Day in Madrid. I am extremely blessed to have the opportunity to do all this in the span of 3 months. I thank God for this gift.
Now that my summer has come to a conclusion, I am embarking on a new "camino." This time, I'm headed to New York City where I am entering the Community of the Franciscans of the Renewal as a postulant. I have been discerning religious life for a number of years. And after working as a lay missionary for Catholic Christian Outreach Canada for 3 years and pilgrimaging through France, Spain and Portugal for 3 months, God has revealed to me a new path, which I look forward to with great anticipation.
So for the next year starting September 6th, 2011, I will be living in New York as a postulant for the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. During this time, I will not have access to internet (no computers, no tv's and no cell phones). If you wish to contact me, you may reach me by good old-fashioned post mail at:

Pax et bonum,
