Father Luis and I want to take a moment to share how thankful we are right now for our church and school community. The responses we have gotten over our closures due to COVID-19 have been amazing and unimaginable.
To those who we missed in these letters, please know that you are still on our blessing list each day and a vital part of being able to continue moving forward together.
