Dear Parishioners, This weekend will be the fourth session of PSR and I’m really enjoying working with the catechists and the students.

It’s not easy to travel around the world to visit all the places that are represented in this parish. The Festival of Nations is a time when some of the tastes and sights and sounds inherited by…
