As promised here is a quick snapshot of the Feast of Mother Cabrini that was held last Saturday.  Ben is working on putting together a video montage from video clips we took and putting it on the Cabrini website.  As soon as he does I will be sure to let you know so you can check that out as well.  Like I mentioned last week, everyone had a great time!<\/p>\n

\"Feast<\/p>\n

Some of the staff working hard before mass to get lunch ready.  I was so proud of the staff and all that they sacrificed to make this event grand.  Behind the ladies is the hostel’s kitchen.  The big pots are built into a fire pit that they use each day when cooking for the kids.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Feast<\/p>\n

Entrance of children \u2013 all the children walked into the service following a statue of Mother Cabrini.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Feast<\/p>\n

The bishop entering the service.  After the service was over Mikayla definitely went up to him and asked him what his name was!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Feast<\/p>\n

\"Feast<\/p>\n

Everything was a celebration.  Even the way the Word of God entered before scripture reading.  This group of girls (and a few others not pictured) danced their way down the aisle while singing to present.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Feast<\/p>\n

Some of the staff dressed in traditional clothing for the event.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Feast<\/p>\n

The men cooking the meat up \u2013 now this was a real brai!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Feast<\/p>\n

Sharon, the director of the hostel, wrote a beautiful poem about Cabrini that the kids recited.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Feast<\/p>\n

These girls are some of Mikayla’s favorites from the hostel.  They sang and did some traditional dancing throughout the performances.  <\/em><\/p>\n

\"Feast<\/p>\n

The Cabrini choir \u2013 beautiful voices.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Feast<\/p>\n

The guy second from the left is Themba.  He is a driver for Cabrini and this is his band performing as the closing event.  They sang and danced and really worked up the crowd.  They were amazing.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Feast<\/p>\n

\"Feast<\/p>\n

Meet Novuselelo \u2013 this is the twins older sister.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Feast<\/p>\n

Here are some of the guests watching the group sing and dance.  Most of the kids are kids from the hostel.  The even also took place in the boys dormitory.  In the back you can see mosquito nets hanging from the ceiling.  For events like this they push all the beds back against the back wall leaving a large open area.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Feast<\/p>\n

This is a terrible picture, but please ignore that.  This is Sr. Diane dancing with the Statue of Mother Cabrini!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
