Two weeks to go

Yesterday, 14th, I was in Launceston for Catholic Education Week celebrations and caught up with two of the group going to Jerusalem at the end of the month. Well, actually I caught up with three as I found out that one of the teachers at St Thomas More's, Newstead, is also going to do the course.

Rosemary was a student of the Sisters of Sion and is going to Ecce Homo on a part scholarship from the Congregation so that means there will be 9 of us all together.

The group is: Tony Brennan and Sr Gabrielle Morgan from the Catholic Education Office, Mark Garnsey from the North West Coast, Peter Santamaria, Darryl Tuppen and Libby Van Tienan (and Rosemary O'Brien) from the North and Joe O'Hea from the South - and myself, of course.

We fly out on Saturday 31st and stay overnight in Dubai as we arrive there latish and then we need to stay in Tel Aviv as well because we are late arriving there and will travel to Jerusalem the next morning.

More news when I have something intelligent to say!!
