Mass in Brazil

So, on our last evening in Brazil, our Brazil delegates headed to Mass in true "St. Angela" style. We attend Mass at a local parish church named for Our Lady of Perpetual Help. It was a lovely Mass except for a rather unfortunate moment when a large bird flew in and crashed into a window (Ouch).

The parishioners noticed that we were a visiting group from the USA and Father Anderson gave us a special welcome. He was nice enough to give us a personal welcome after Mass and to pose for a picture with the group. One special note - Sunday was Father's Day in Brazil so there was a special blessing for fathers. And  because he wanted to be with his father, Wilson's son, Julio, joined our group for Mass (you recall that Wilson is our fantastic guide in Iguassu). Mass was a great way to end (almost) our trip and to give thanks foe the awesome experience we have had these last two weeks.

Welcome!
