Here's another look at Chris Smith's commentary on the visit - along with some pictures of the church and people.
"Yesterday in Belfast, on the tour, we stopped at Clonard Monastery (see the pictures below), a very famous Catholic monastery with a priest, Gerry Reynolds, who was instrumental in peace-keeping during The Troubles.
The monastery itself was magnificent, but I remember as I was walking into the monastery with group (which was following Father Reynolds), Dr. Portice whispered in my ear, "Now this man could tell you some stories." Rev. Portice saying that showed me how incredible this man must be. Father Reynolds led us in the "Prayer of Unity" while we were there.
Also, when we sang "Surely the Presence" for him in front of the monastery, he told us how the first time he heard that song was while he was on a mission at a prison for terrorists during The Troubles. The prisoners were singing it."

Thanks, once again, to the Zukauckas family for these wonderful pictures. They've supplied alot of the pictures that we've enjoyed during the trip.
