Fr. Richard Gill — Sat, 11 May 2013 21:30:00 +0000

Dear Parishioners,

They say you only really appreciate something when you don’t have it anymore… and boy is that true! For me, it’s the first Mother’s Day since my mom passed away earlier this year. I find myself thinking a lot about her, even more than she was around. I bet all of you who have lost your own moms know what I’m talking about.
