Hi, it has been so long since I have posted anything here that I am feeling guilty. However, I have been keeping up to date on Facebook. However, I am happy to report that on the 5th of June we celebrated a Mass of thanksgiving for my 50th Anniversary of Priesthood in the newly renovated chapel in the Mall. It was the first Mass celebrated inthe renovated Chapel. The chapel has come out even better than I had imagined. We really have to take our hats of the the architect, George (Butch) Razoyk and to Santini Construction. We were a little slow in getting started, but once the work began on the Tuesday after Easter, we were back in the chapel on June 5th, nine weeks! And that is pretty good for a radical renovation. The Chapel was completely gutted except for the wall panelling and the lighting on the columns.
