RECENT POSTS and THANKS!

First off, thanks to readers who have sent things from the wish lists or donations. I have your names jotted down and will remember you next Saturday when I will say Mass for the intention of my benefactors.

And thanks to those of you who have sent greetings in advance of my birthday and also for the good feedback about your experience of going to confession for the first time in a while. If this blog helps people go back to confession, it is worth the effort.

And don’t forget my SURVEY!
