The Adventure Begins

Look out!  A ninety-five-year-old father, grandfather, and great grandfather has been spotted traveling across country with his Father, his son the priest.  Victor Dosch and Fr. Michael Mary Dosch, O.P., begin their journey from the Atlantic Ocean in Margate City, NJ, to Alaska.  I, Fr. Michael, will try to post to this blog periodically during our epic sojourn.  Please pray for me that I can keep up with my father!

As far as I can tell, the rest stop is still the same as it was in 1972. Lots of trucks. Maybe that is why the chicken cross

After a nine hour drive, we arrived at Rosary Hill Home, the headquarters of the Immaculate Conception Province of our dear Dominican Sisters who originally came to Justice, Illinois, to help the Polish immigrants to the Chicago area.  The Sisters who ten years ago opened their mission in Columbus, Ohio, when I was pastor at St. Patrick's, once made the long trip to visit my father in Margate, NJ.  We will join them for their annual picnic tomorrow after I celebrate Sunday Mass for them.
