Mardi Gras

The seminarians hosted their annual Mardi Gras Party this evening.  The theme was “Casino Night.”  The junior class was responsible for organizing the event.  It was a lot of fun and seemed to be a big success.  There was good food, games, and the chance to relax and catch up before Lent begins.

Pray for the seminarians, they begin Lent with a three day silent retreat!  The monks also have Ash Wednesday as a Day of Recollection.  I will have Ash Wednesday Mass on the campus of Northwest Missouri State and noon.IMG_1383
