A Special Kind of Love: There’s a special kind of love that grandchildren have for their grandparents. It’s filled with respect for their wisdom and accomplishments; With gratitude for the values they’ve given us with delight in the stories of our family that they remember and share. It’s a special kind of love that’s built on a lifetime of caring and giving. It’s the kind of love that’s felt for you our dear grandparent, today and always. Congratulations and good wishes to Peter & Marjorie Winning and Tim & Betty Cosgrove who recently celebrated 60 Years of Marriage

Pope Francis in a message to the People of Cuba where he travels to this Sunday “I
wish to be among you as a missionary of God’s mercy and tenderness, but allow me to encourage you too to be missionaries of God’s infinite love. May no-one lack the witness of our faith and our love. I ask all to accompany me with prayer, invoking the light and the strength of the Holy Spirit and the intercession of Our Lady as I set out on my journey.” Our prayers and good wishes go with Pope Francis. You can follow His journey on EWTN Sky TV 589 each day.
