God has not only blessed each of us with memory, reason and skill, but with saints who have handed down this faith

Each month, I publish the birthdays and wedding anniversaries of our parish families.  The list I use, unfortunately, does not have everyone listed.  If you have a birthday or anniversary that does not appear the month in which it occurs, PLEASE tell me either in person or leave a note on my desk in my office (next to Fr. Eric’s) or call me and I’ll add you.
