The Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul
Yesterday, Friday, was the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul. Fr. Vong hosted a special celebration for the those who work at the cathedral, some of whom have Peter as their patron saint. They all gathered in the library at 4:00 and I just happened to walk in.
The munchies consisted of fruit, ice cream, and lots of soda and Red Bull (yes, Red Bull).
The seminarians find any reason to mug for the camera.
Tuyen scarfs down the ice cream to the delight of the sisters.
I'm just trying to eat.
At dinner, Bishop Joseph honored the seminarians who have either St. Peter or St. Paul for their patron saint.
Fr. Vong's patron saint is Peter, so he received the flowers from the bishop.
Fr. Vong then handed it from seminarian to seminarian, those whose patron saint is Peter or Paul...and that was quite a few. We also had wine with the meal as a small celebration. That was very nice.
