Ordination Dinner

Last night was the "official" kick off of the ordination festivities. We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at St. Rose that was hosted by the formandi classes. We had Frank & Judy Mascarello, Eric & Kathy Vande Berg, Jacque & Mike Matthews, and of course Noah as our guests. Pat received her master catechist certificate. I am so proud of her! This is the highest honor that can be bestowed on her by the Catholic church (without become a nun or a sister). As it was expressed to us by Archbishop Lucas "you have earned special favors in Heaven by what you have accomplished so far". I know I could not be in the position I am without her! Next weekend we have our ordination retreat for us guys that runs from Thursday night through Sunday afternoon. This should be a wonderful time led by Fr. Damian Zuerlein. It looks like we should have a wonderful turn out by the looks of all who have RSVP'ed so far! Thank you!!!
