Apple Picking with First Pre-Theo and the Missionaries of Charity

Here are some photo's from Saturday’s Service day with the First Pre-Theologians who joined the Sisters of the Missionaries of Charity (Dorchester & New Bedford) to take more than eighty inner-city kids apple-picking in the Berlin Orchards Farm. Thanks to our good friends Gerard & Sheila Beirne and their eleven children for all their help!. It was a great day for all!
