Just thought I would post a brief message on the blog. The dedication of the Chapel of Saints Peter and Paul brings to a close the blog's focus on that effort. There are still some stained glass windows to be completed and installed and I will keep you up to date as they develop.
I'll probably try to share an occasional picture and post with images of the Chapel in action also.
Beyond that I'll be pondering where the Blog goes next.
Thanks for all your support.
Joseph Strickland
