A MESSAGE FROM FATHER ARNOLD

Here's a thought for our 2017 journey:  "Remember that you'll always have more blessings than problems; problems seem more because you count, measure and analyze them every day; when you count your blessings, you realize that they always outnumber your problems."
May God bless you  in all your journeys!
-Fr. Arnold
