(We were again told by several of our customers that we are a very welcoming and friendly parish community!) And finally, for that last burst of energy in an effort to leave the Father Keaney Center in pre-sale condition! We want to try to mention you by name, because without YOU this event could not happen. If we missed anyone, we sincerely apologize...
