Fr. V., I love the pic with you and your dog! And somehow, it also makes the Zoo sign even MORE appropriate! :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, Father, thanks for showing us a picture of your dog--a good dog, and a lucky dog to have such a good master.
ReplyDeleteFOCUS has an active ministry on our local State University Campus in conjunction with the Catholic Campus Parish. We have a young lady living with us this currently ending school year who has been involved with FOCUS for a couple of years on campus. She graduated last year; her fiance graduates this next week. June 1 they report to a summer-long FOCUS training location. At the conclusion they will be assigned to work for a year at a College Campus somewhere in the USA. In order to help them preserve their engagement, they will be assigned to different campuses. Lord willing, they can pick-up their relationship after they serve the Lord for a year. There are a lot of terrific young people out there.
ReplyDeleteWe visited the National Shrine last summer. It's breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteIt's about a 10 minute cab ride from the White House.
