THANK YOU
Fr. Les was astonished and amazed at
the glorious response to his request for
hospitality. After last Saturdays 5:00
pm mass, about five members offered
Fr. Les a place to stay while he is in the
Athens area. Thank you to the entire
Center for your warm welcoming
hearts, and especially to the Merritt
family whose home he now calls his
home. As the work of Gathering for
Mission moves forward, Fr. Les will
provide us with updates. If you would
like to check out the project, you can go
