By I'm sorry for the lack of posts recently. Busy summer days and still trying to develop a good rythym of staying in touch with all of you.
I hope it has been a good summer for you. Our Catholic schools here in Tyler begin classes August 12 and that always seems to mark the official end of summer in our community. Let us pray that it is a school year blessed with the guiding light of Jesus Christ.
Please be careful with the heat.
Joseph Strickland
