Welcome to Toledo - people meet their families - and enjoy a potluck totally of Hors d'oeuvres. |
 |
Parish of San Juan de la Cruz |
 |
One of the activities was a large procession of the Way of the Cross made around the city on Friday evening. |
 |
A view of the Alcazar (fortress / castle). |
 |
Our parish provided the large crucifix that was carried in the procession. |
 |
They had a well trained team, and we got a great spot in the Way of the Cross. |
 |
View of the Cathedral. |

 |
The crucifix being returned to the Church. |
 |
On Sunday, after Mass with the parish, they challenged the Americans to a game of football (soccer). |
 |
Actually we did much better than I expected - we didn't win, but we didn't suck. |
 |
Fr. Leo Seiker was awesome as goalie. |
 |
We had games going on two fields at once. |
 |
The teams from Toledo and Nebraska. |
 |
A picture of all the American students with their host families. |

When in Spain, do as the Spanish do... the Macarena. |
 |
A concert of Celtic music organized for us by the parish. |
 |
All the pilgrims for the entire Diocese of Toledo gathered for a large outdoor Mass for the Holy Day of the Assumption on Monday, August 15. |
 |
Vesting for Mass took place in the hospital 'chapel'. |

Procession of the Virgin amidst all the priests. |
