Dear Bob, Maureen and family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Family of Fr. Andrew, and his brother Monks and extended family; may your celebration today be a profound experience of faith in the Lord's powerful presence among us!

Thank you for your kindness during my school years, the years after and for the faith you and all of your brothers at...
