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 Pictures

We're still here! We've been busy but everyone is doing well. Jim has a lot going on with work right now and I have a lot going on with 5 kids! Except this past week, Mom and Dad were here to help out, or more accurately, do everything for me! We're so blessed! Here are some pictures of Catherine.

Not sure what that means, but we'll see another doctor in the near future. Thank youfor your continued prayers for us!

What Catherine's thinking: Maybe if I take them out enough she'll stop putting them in.
