It could be a little tiring. I finally told her, “You know, you don’t have to say ‘sorry’ so often.” She looked me right in the eyes and said, “Father, you’re right. I’m sorry.” Her ear-to-ear grin betrayed that she enjoyed the irony — and that she would keep asking for forgiveness as often as she needed it.

Since June of 2026, we received $58,085.00 from 303 families of Saint Joan of Arc parish. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! This tells me that you trust God with what he has entrusted to you as a gift. We can all learn to be good stewards of God’s grace through Saint Peter: Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” (1 Peter 4:10)
