cross
April 2010 - Volunteers came out to tear down an old stable and one of them snapped a shot as timbers formed a beautiful cross in the midst of the wreckage. Thanks to Janis Kmiec for the photo! And thanks to Anne, Janis, Eddie, and Ray for all their hard work, and to Team Depot for use of equipment.

Msgr. Mulvey with Sisters
December 2009 - Msgr. Michael Mulvey celebrated Mass for us on Christmas Day. Here he is shown with Sr. Mary Joseph and Sr. Holy Spirit.

Michael had been appointed Bishop of Corpus Christi!
