“Here are two photos that I took for my gathering with the Oblates at Immaculate Conception Church. We gathered with the OMI’s and with seminarians, and aspirants.
“The visit was to show the pre-novices and one of the incoming pre-novices the Oblates in the Houston area. It was also a time for me to interview one of our aspirants: Amir Ayobi.”
It was a great trip and the guys truly hosted us with a wonderful meal of Mole, Nopalitos, Rice and Beans, and fruit. The OMI’s took time to share a little bit of themselves and the work that they are doing in Houston and the parish.”
Everyone from the first photo is here plus Fathers Tim Paulsen and Joseph Aluthwatte.
