A Temple of the Holy Spirit

It was a wonderful Mass with a full choir, trumpets, and all the rest. During his remarks, Bishop Earl K. Fernandes mentioned that we too, like the Basilica, are temples of the Lord.

New Beer Recipe

Posted by on
I have put together another masterful creation for a new beer. I'll be sharing the process and pictures for those who are interested (many have written). However, I'm looking for contributions for a name. I am thinking of "Cupid's Arrow Ale" or something like that because it won't be ready till late January but everyone knows we'll try some before that. It is an Ale and it will have a red tint to it. Anyway, I thought I'd throw out the ingredients too if someone wanted to give it a try...

8 lbs Liquid Malt Extract
1 lbs Munich Malt (grain)
1 lbs Vienna Malt (grain)
1 lbs Crystal Malt 60 (grain)
1/4 lb White Wheat (for a nice foamy head)
1 oz Galena Hops
1 oz Northern Brewer Hops
1 oz Cascade Hops
1 Vial of Whitelabs Irish Ale Yeast
