Happy Fourth of July

I want to wish all of my readers a Happy Fourth of July. Our picnic will be very small today, but that’s okay. It gives me one more chance to visit my family. A few others will be around for a while, but I will only see them for a few hours.

There was a missionary priest celebrating Mass this morning from the Consolata missionaries, and he was excellent. You could tell that the faith of the African people has touched him. It won’t be long before Africa is sending missionaries here. In fact, it is already happening in Memphis. We have one coming to my parish in August.

Today is also the feast day of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati.

Well, I’m probably the only one in St. Blog’s who is still blogging, so I guess I need to stop for now. I will be back shortly. Remember that Tuesday is my blogiversary. I will have been around for two years.
