Must have been a Holiday and nobody told me......??
Hello all.
Margaret sent this out to several lists yesterday.
Her daughter is graduating from McNeese tomorrow and she
is running for busy MOM of the year right now, so I told
her that I'd fwd this to you folks. If you have a list
for your parish or are a member of such a list that this
has not been on, please pass it on so folks will be aware.
