The conference has been great. It is so pleasant to meet up with friends and also to meet young and older priests who have bene reading this blog, some for a very long time.
Mike Aquilina has written some 70 books.
Some of the facilities. A chapel with the Blessed Sacrament.
Well… not so much this… this shows how many readings there are from Augustine in the Office of Readings compared to others.
Individual Mass chapel. Others concelebrate.
Some bits of sanity are available.
Food is uniformly good, served buffet style. There are usually a choice of different types of salad and different types of meat, fish or chicken.
The dining area.
After the conferences there is social time. I wound up playing some chess. Others had other games.
Next year… since there will be construction here, there will be fewer available spaces.
There is a podcast “The way of the Fathers” by Aquilina and others. A listened to it in Spotify, the have some billion episodes or more. I find it very interesting and useful.
Because the conference is being held in Wheeling, I wondered if the new Bishop of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston appeared at all?
I am glad you had a good conference, Father. I like the architecture of the social hall.
