Fall 1999
The Next Adventure
The Fall of 1999 was my first real tour as a full-time Celebrant. After a lot of scheduling changes, we finally learned that we would be traveling to the nation of Venezuela for our overseas outreach. So, after spending some time in Ontario, Canada, and in New England, we headed down to South America.
Venezuela was amazing! We ministered mostly inside the Catholic Church, which really opened my eyes. The church there is so alive! We met so many wonderful people.
Beautiful Niagara Falls, from the Canadian side
