This post wraps it up for the pilgrims’ visit to Labuan Bajo with Fr Nev of Holy Family Parish in Brisbane.

After a 10-day period of travel, activities at the monastery, visiting local poor families, much prayer and meditation, and working with the special needs children in the apostolate, the group accompanying Fr Nev finally spent time relaxing and soaked up some of the local sightseeing attractions. This post reports on these activities while we say goodbye to Brendan, Georges, Jennifer, Joan, John, Julie, Kay, Louis and Father Nev.

Our next post will look at some current activities and events at the monastery at Labuan Bajo for the months of August and September.

Until then, blessings to all….
