Yet another ordinary day: Good bye Attard Family

With the relocation of the Allerheiligen community which is to happen by Summer 2009, we have witnessed the 3rd farewell party and sending out, this week.

As the Attard family prepares to leave for Malta, we had a chance to celebrate who they are to us and bring along a symbol of ourselves as a remembrance of the Allerheiligen community whom they shared life with for the past 3 years

Grace presenting her symbol, who is also leaving for Rome in September to join the ICPE community there. We had her farewell party on Thursday.

Mike with an elaborate explanation of his symbol which can mean anything Stefan & Pia want it to mean...

Our symbol, a dried rose from our wedding bouquet, as a remembrance of them being witnesses at our wedding and for journeying with us as a couple throughout these years.

With Sacha & Elisa, who have impressed us with their lives, as children who grew up in the mission.

For ol' time's sake... the veterans of the mission - Mike, Patricia, Silvana, Stefan & Pia
