Fr. Glenn: As You Would Receive

May God grant him eternal rest, and bring comfort to his family.
Such things remind us of the preciousness of life, which young people in particular often take so cavalierly, presuming their own indestructibility. Sadly, we priests and ministers encounter Read More

For the Los Alamos Daily Post
The sign on the left of the river warned of the rapids to come.
