Not sure to whom this should be addressed so I am shot-gunning. My current address is 6745 Boulder Pointe Dr., Washington, MI 48094. I point this out as the announcement for our 2022 activities went to my previous and no longer address of 580 bolinger St., Rochester Hills, MI 48307.

Pat,
That’s sounds like a good plan. I don’t mind the Class of ‘65 joining us unless it means “the less formal get together” turns into to a “Early Bird’ event due to their advanced age. :-). Have a good day.

Denis,I think your ‘narrow path’ smacks of ‘narrow thinking’. The Catholic religion is more inclusive and diverse in Its thinking and actions. I know you can ‘cherry-pick’ many scriptural passages that support your thinking but that isn’t Catholicism which by the way means ‘universal.

Fr. Rick was a great Sermonator and was meaningfully dramatic at Celebrations which enhanced them.  He will be missed.
