Tuesday evening was very special for Christy and Nancy as they had an invitation to have dinner with the local Jesuit priest. Fr. Cap Miller is reknown in the region for his work establishing schools in Kathmandu. Beginning with a small group of students there are now over 1,200 at the Xavier school, with 4,000 applications each year for the only 120 incoming spots. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, he has spent the last 53 years in Nepal and in the 1970s was given an honorary citizenship by the King of that time.
We had a wonderful evening with him, the pastor of his church St Ann's, the head of the small school here in Pokhara and 7 candidate Jesuits aging from 17-21.
The Jesuits observe obedience, chastity and sanctity. Fr. Cap Miller is seated center, in the light blue shirt.
