Father Michael is I’ll!

Hello all. I am down with dizzy spells and vomiting. Spent three days in hospital last week. Can’t seem to keep anything down. So basically resting. No advice as to prognosis. Hope for some answers next week from ENT. Meanwhile, it’s slow and go.

Keep a good thought

Cheers and blessings

Each week, as we celebrate the Holy Mass together, we memorialize Our Blessed Lord’s supreme gift to us: His Sacred Body and Blood.
