Some weeks back, probably on the earlier stay afloat thread,
I posted about a friend, in a priory of Dominican friars,
whose community might have to leave their on-campus residence.

The good news is that the friars can stay in their residence.
The bad news is that their Catholic college may go under:
"It depends on who you talk to," says my friend.
School is out for the summer now, and big decisions have to be made, I gather.
These are difficult times, you don't have to be an Ivy League institution to be feeling the heat, I think.

My friend the friar accepted the assignment to join a group of fellow friars
in recording three-minute reflections on the scripture reading of the day.
They can be seen on YouTube, and he admits that he never looks at his own recordings,
because he feels so uneasy when he films them.
But it's nice for me to get a glimpse of someone I have not seen in years.
