My Bro has left the states for Afghanistan!

Thank you God for a great SURPRISE visit from Fr. Kevin!  It was so great to get one last hug & take part in one last Mass w/ him especially on the feast of the Archangels!  It was an extra blessing to have his brother priests Fr. Joe (actual brother) & Fr. Tom Hennessey say Concelebrate w/ him!!!  To see the three of those in action together again... Thank you God for the gift of HOLY priests!

At Grandma & Grandpa's later we had breakfast & an exhibition of some of the artillery power a couple of the soldiers were carrying with them.  They also lined up in the basement to take turns looking through the night goggles!  What fun times!  To add to their memory book they dragged Fr. Kevin & two of the soldiers outside for a kids vs. the military soccer match.  My sister & I could not stop cracking up at the continuous commentary from one of the soldiers.  He was so funny!  He tried to distract the kids by telling them a hummingbird was over their shoulder.  He also pretended to be a girl's voice calling for the ball!  They will never forget today!

God, please protect those men fighting for our freedom & please bring back our brother safe & sound to his  family!  Thank you again for all your blessings!
