After a week of sharing in the grief of the Lakota, a weekend at the Cherry County Fair and Rodeo was a refreshing way to renew my spirit. My host and hostess served on the Committee, so I was introduced to this mid-West cultural event by the best.
On Sunday, I companioned a group of Nebraska folk to St. Francis Mission for Mass and their first look at the magnificent Church there. Fr. Anthony Lusvardi, SJ presided. He was ordained on June 3 and returned to the Mission for the first time as a priest. Father served here for 3 years during his Formation and loves the Lakota. That was so evident in his joyful celebration.
Heading to White River, SD shortly to offer bereavement support at a recovery center there.
