February, 2000, had not seen each other in about 20 years. larger pix

This is the
Seminary house, Archbishop Andres' residence and that of some of the Priests and Seminarians. larger pix
The "front porch" -
patio of the house. A place to gather in the morning and evening, and where one can sit, pray, read, and contemplate. larger pix
The
old school buildings on main grounds of the Seminary. No HV/AC, chalkboards are black
paint on a plaster wall, as is the school and most of the the faclities. There is a greater interest in
learning and service, than there is in creature comforts. The main house is behind the school, and
the old and new Church buildings are to the left rear of the photographer. larger pix
This is a view of the
grounds - the drive which passes the Seminary house and goes past the
sisters residence and the staff housing on to the farm area. There is a beautiful stream down the
road, but the pix did not come out. Next time!. larger pix
This is the
road which is between the Seminary house and the Church. Church is on the left,
house on the right, old seminary and school buildings on the right (all being mostly out of the
frame). larger pix

Another parish church. larger pix The "you know whos" are buinding a new church virtually around the corner, but as of the year 2000 A.S. they still have not created even one farm. In 1998-1998 A.D., Archbishop Andres, S.S.B., amassed enough good land for between 800 and 1,000 farms, and then gave the land to the poor for farms - no strings attached. These are good farms, large enough to provide for large, extended families, with a surplus for commerce.

The
school; to the right are service buildings. The buildings in the
foreground are classrooms -
open walled and filled with children learning, and in the background to the right are some
administration buildings. The
grounds are most
beautiful - the building hidden in the
background the length of both pictures is a series of classrooms on the grounds opposite the open
walled class rooms. This is a closeup of the
line of open walled "service" building. There even
is a sign designating the
School, and an official
government plaque. On the opposite side of the school
grounds is a
building similar to the old school building on the main seminary grounds - this is the
building hidden in the prior pictures. No utilities, blackboard is black paint on the wall, and the
students learn and live Christ's Love. Larger, more detailed pictures, in order pix1
