FR. YOHAN CELEBRATIONS

There were 13 relatives from Columbia of which 7 had to travel to Bogota twice to get their travel visas. Those flights for Fr. Yohan’s parents and two round trip tickets to the United States and Fr. Yohan’s round trip ticket to Columbia and back cost $3,517. A discounted van which transported all 13 of them to Kinnelon, back to Kennedy and to places they wanted to visit cost $750. There were two catered receptions, a small one in the rectory the day of the Ordination for $419 and the parish reception after the first Mass on Sunday for 256 people in our Conor Community Center for $5,026. The grand total was $9,712. Eight or nine persons slept in the rectory and the rest in a parishioner’s home for 9 nights at no charge.
