Web Update
The music page has just been updated, with new pictures and a mention of Sunday's organ rededication and concert. I should have at two new pieces for the Arts blog this week (a tour of the organ loft and a new poem by Kevin Harrington), so be sure to stop back for those. And Father Smith promises to have pictures from his pilgrimage available for uploading soon. I'm really looking forward to seeing them - and I suspect you are, too!
I think there's something else coming, too. Now, what was it?

These funds are collected then forwarded to UTO and joined together with funds from other dioceses. Every year, the total offering is used for projects at home and abroad to support grants for missions and ministry. Please consider picking up a UTO Blue Box today and bring your donation (in the form of checks or currency) to the Church Sunday, May 15th.
