Our fourth hosting of the Mass was our best. The turnout was a respectable one. Sure there were Cops and Firefighters, but there were also POW’s from WWII. That was an honor in itself.

Thanks to Eileen Long for the first reading, and to Chief Cassano for the second.

Later, Father Christopher Keenan delivered a stirring homily. And, as always Sister Beata, with her angelic voice, led us in song.

Our guest Speaker Russel J. Keat told us about the “truths” of the war in Afghanistan.

Then we concluded outside the Church with a post-mass musical event. Jessica Young sang her emotional heart out with her own rendition of “Angels of 343.” The Music of Hank Fellows was represented by Mark Aldrich; he sang two songs, “Halfway to Heaven” and “The Spirit of America.” Both were very moving songs.

We thank everyone for attending and hope you can all return next year.
