Madonna House, Combermere, Ontario

After traveling through another amazing day of sunshine and colour we arrived at madonna house to prepare for a concert we wanted to give for our dear friends , many of whom lived in our city of edmonton , their mandate there to feed and clothe the poor.

We were invited to join in and listen to the, prayerful singing at vespers in the evening before a delicious , homemade stew dinner back at the main house.

Our concert started at 8 pm and we were surprised and honoured to receive a standing ovation and calls for ‘ encore’ at the end. Incredible.

After a night nearby at hush lodge , our friend steve ( his birthday that day!) , One of the directors at madonna house , invited us back for a byzantine, orthodox catholic mass and then a great breakfast back at the house again for french toast, homemade …..well …everything…from the bread to the butter, maple syrop , etc.

Then we said good-bye to ‘ our lady of combermere’ , our friends once again, and headed off towards ottawa for our next show.
