Missionary Postcard from Cuba
Cuba
By Fr. Nicholas Harding, OMI
(Editor’s note: Fr. Nicholas Harding, OMI has recently arrived in Cuba to begin his next assignment in ministry. Below are some photos and a few words about his new home. Future communications from Fr. Harding will hopefully include photos and text describing his ministry, the people and the culture of Cuba.)
From Fr. Nick:
“I went to beautiful Pinar del Río where we have the other Oblate mission. Buenas Juntos covers the mountains. In foto, I golf a coffee plant. Rectory has orchids and grapes. Also foto with Fr Roger and a 1950’s Chevy. The four Oblate priests lunch birthday of Wilmar.”
Prayers, Fr Nick
