Today we had an interesting experience. As Cyril had to use the van to go out to Winnipeg, and the others had to start walking before 11am, we weren't able to attend the 11am Mass at Good Shepard church in Portage La Prairie. The only alternative was the Ukrainian rite Mass at 9am, at the Assumption parish. So we all went to the Ukrainian rite Mass! By the way, Cyril's dad is a Ukrainian priest (they are allowed to marry in the Eastern rite), so Cyril knew what to expect and had even memorized some of the responses. But for some of us, at least for me, it was pretty new. One of the starkest difference came in receiving the Eucharist - they receive the Body and Blood together on a spoon. But I liked the Mass, and the church was very beautiful (beautiful iconography of Mary).
Not to much other news. We are still in the parking lot at Portage, and Greg and I have our day planned out already: sleep.
