Positive Post Sunday, December 14, 2025…. Week 459. At our recent Church Ministry Fair, Michele and I felt a gentle yet unmistakable call to expand our service as Eucharistic Ministers by bringing the Body of Christ to those unable to gather at Mass.

Positive Post Sunday, December 7, 2025…. Week 458. Since my retirement, Michele and I have been attending daily Mass at least one day a week, giving thanks to our Lord for our many blessings.
