Happy Birthday Federica!

Hi everyone. I am going to try and be on here more but a lot is going on. Good grief I just got the Holy Week schedule of services, and, as usual, I am not even going to be able to catch a breath some days. I am a Reader, so I will be very busy. Please say a prayer for all clergy, minor, and major during Holy Week because it is very taxing on all of us. Here are the readings for the day.

Had a recent weekend trip to St. Louis to celebrate my husband's birthday. The St. Louis Union Station hotel is gorgeous!
Quick visits to the zoo and the aquarium added to the time.
Here are a few of my favorite pics from the trip.
