Dear Sister Ann,
I wish that I could use my thumb to get to St. John Fisher, but I'm headed on Friday by train to Alton, IL, to participate in the silver ordination celebration of one of our Springfield priests. May dear Marty rest in Christ's peace. He was a wonderful friend & priest. So many of us were enriched by his knowledge & sharing of the Word of God. I will have Mass for him next week. God bless you!
