Sr. Sheena and I arrived at St. Maria Skobtsova House in Calais from our travels and a walk from the train station. The first ring of the doorbell brought no response proving momentary anxiety. The name of the house was in the window so we knew it was the right place. A second ring was answered by Maria, a Romanian volunteer social worker gaining experience for her advanced degree.
We had a pleasant conversation with Maria who filled us in on the workings of the house. She would be with us only a few days before her time was up and she returned home then back to school. Brother Johannes arrived, sweating in his blue habit as a member of the Good Shepherd Congregation.
We were quickly set up to stay in another studio apt. about 10 blocks away. Then we went for a walk with Brother Johannes to find some dinner.
Thank God for safe travel.
