Go to Mass and discover that Fr. Wilhelm has gone oon rest and renewal leave and been replaced by Fr. Andrew, a Canadian Franciscan of Filipino origin. This is his first parish, but he seems like a good choice, given the large number of Filipina workers in the parish. The public address system is not the clearest, so most of the specific wording of his first sermon misses us, but it seems that he has used up enough material for his first three homilies in one go.

In the afternoon Maggi cycles over and we play Scrabble.
