from Canon Ann Goodwin…

To Canon Rick Condo, and the congregation of St. John’s Cathedral – I want to thank everyone involved in the planning for my retirement service, luncheon and the gifts I received. It was a most memorable occasion which I shall cherish. It was also a wonderful expression of your love and support. Blessings & love, Ann

stewardship…

As good stewards, we learn to trust much more in God, and much less in ourselves. Let us trust in God’s plan, and be open to the Holy Spirit working in the lives of each of our family members, particularly those who have fallen away from their faith.
