Bishop’s Corner Another Season starts this September Sunday, under the perfect patronage of the Most Holy Name of Mary. May her name be ever on our lips, so that Jesus’ Holy Name may reign in our hearts, homes and society. Welcome back to our dear Sunday School students. (Adults, remember classes are open for you […]
Bishop’s Corner We have an odd opening for our season this year. Labor Day’s holiday (let’s make it a holy day, shall we?) comes not at Summer’s end, but after school’s start. Still, it is welcome, as are the smiling faces of our little ones as they return to school, and next Sunday, to Sunday […]
Bishop’s Corner We had a most pleasant visit last week with Fr. Siordia, Fr. Saavedra and a number of other old friends from here and there. Fr. Saavedra honored his Knights of the Sacred Heart by a special visit and was edified with their good attendance (18 boys) and spirit, as well as by the […]

Bishop’s Corner We have had an interesting “growth spurts” these last six weeks since the Feast of the Precious Blood, July 1, saw the ordination of a new priest, Fr.

Bishop’s Corner This summer we received a lovely legacy left us for our Building Fund in the will of John and Helen Jackson.

In a sense, this Sunday is the “Feast of Feasts,” truly the Feast of God as the French name it.

Who is not touched by […]
