FRIARS' MIND

This past Saturday afternoon sixty three of our young parishioners were confirmed at the St. Louis Cathedral.

We offer our congratulations to them and to their families who brought them to this milestone of their faith. And we thank all who helped prepare them for this sacrament, especially their dedicated teachers: Joyce Ott, Br. John, Steve Schisler, Dolores Perlow and Pat Farinella. May God reward your goodness.
