Today is St. John of Shanghai and Sans Fransisco's day.
To celebrate I listened to some of the
podcasts on him
from Ancient Faith Radio.
Really lovely to listen to,
all about him from a subdeacon who

St. John was in Sans Fransisco.

Yesterday I stayed home
away from the crowds and noise
of Canada Day
and rested and read all about

Still recovering but the corner has turned.

Wonderful that today is St. John's day.
Wonderful that there are Saints in the world
to help us.
