Thanks to AR, JS, MK, Fr. LT, GMcI, JB, AD, MF, AH, JJ for the kind donations. It has been a tough month.  I will remember those who send donations periodically as I celebrate Mass for benefactors, which is my duty and pleasure.  The next will be 1 August. Once again, thanks to those who sent needful things from my amazon wishlist.  They were deeply appreciated and helpful.
