This is an old picture from before Christmas of a Eucharistic Minister Training Course. One of our goals this year is to train new ministers of the Eucharist for the outlying communities, so that more of our churches can have the Reservation of The Blessed Sacrament. And in the absence of a priest, especially on Sundays their "Culto" (Service) Leader can distribute Holy Communion and these gatherings.
As the PP was away I had to give my first lecture / talk at this course. Needless to say with my bad Portuguese I prepared well, preparing a slide show on my laptop, hoping that the images of the slide show would compensate for my bad grammar etc. We got a loan of a disused farmhouse in a beautiful location, beside the river for the days retreat. It was only on arrival did I discover there was no electricity, so I had no slide show. THE POOR PEOPLE!!!! I'M SURE I BORED THEM TO TEARS.
