EDITOR’S NOTE: Posting deadlines and my impending time off made it impossible to post all the convocation photos I received from Oblates in Tewksbury, MA and Chula Vista, CA prior to the hiatus. Here’s hoping everyone adheres to the philosophy of, “Better Late Than Never” and that you enjoy these images from California and Massachusetts.
