  • A Surprise Graduation

    A Message for the 6th Sunday of the Easter Season: Today we celebrate both Mother’s Day and, from the looks of the bleary-eyed teenagers and their relieved parents recovering from last night’s Prom, the impending end of the school year and of course, graduation.  I, for one, can’t start thinking of graduation without calling to… →
