I know. That's why I said he had one too many. Better too many than too few. They're all covered.

My dear friends...there are three Michaels from Van Nuys in my class...Michael Hanafin (cathedral in Pheonix), Michael Mandalas and Michael Sullivan. People's eagerness to point out mistakes, or apparent mistakes, on this forum is one of the many reasons I do not post here. Have a great day!

Axios! to the new clergy, the new deacons.

Only God knows what wonders He will perform through them. May our Church continue to be blessed by this restored vocation.

And may God bless and strengthen Melissa and Diodoro for the successful fulfillment of their endeavor!

Fr. Deacon Paul

Yes, there were three Pauls in my husbands class. biggrin So I still get confused and have to clarify when he says Paul - I have my own discriptive thought of each one.

My husbands class was just full of wonderful men in the Lord. He was truly blessed. It is neat when they gather for retreat each year. It is as though they just sat talking together yesterday in class. Such a wonderful bond was developed between them all. Truly a gift of God!
