We will always remember the contribution Brother Al made to Epiphany Cathedral in Venice, Florida, serving as sacristan during his years in Venice. His dedication was inspirational, and he and his Xaverian Brothers were held in high esteem by the staff and the parishioners. Brother Al is a good and faithful servant and is enjoying his eternal rest with the Father.
