Having the time of our lives, being a stop during the annual Pies on Parade, to benefit the AIO. Wonderful people. And apparently our quiche is the talk of the town. :)

Today we pray for St. Luke’s in Wilton, St. Anne’s in Calais, and for parishes in transition.
May this second Sunday in Lent be filled with peace and blessings for all.
