23rd Sunday after Pentecost

St. Peter of Alcantara, Confessor (III Class)
St. Peter, a Spaniard of noble birth, entered the Order of St. Francis at the age of 16. He re-established the primitive Franciscan rule, and gave St. Teresa powerful support in her work of reformation. He died in 1562.

This coming Tuesday is Katie's birthday, but because she has class that evening, we made her a big birthday dinner today. She requested Mexican food. The only obstacle is that Mexico is slightly farther away now, and getting ingredients is a little difficult. However, she invited two friends who are great chefs, and it turned out pretty well by all accounts.

Here is Katie blowing out the one candle that we managed to dig up.

After dinner, Katie got out her violin and Max his flute. Maria had fun whirling in circles to the music with her Daddy.
