I am forever grateful for...

We offer up our prayers and sympathy to family. Tese, I was at ICA with you. So you are in my prayers on the loss of your brother. I really appreciated the Mass when he was the presider. His words were encouraging. Bless you, Martha (Woods) Nuhn

Catholic Update was my best go-to resource in 14 years teaching high school religion. Jack was a genius in getting concepts across in a meaningful way!

Prayer done with great love!
