  2. Wow, gorgeous and delicious!

    Triduum and Easter were both wonderful- the former in a challenging, contemplative way, and the latter in a very celebratory way :D Lots of growth and wonderful memories :)

  3. Paula: Based on these photos, you and your friends would really enjoy the charism of CL, the lay movement with which I am engaged. Alas, the closest group is in Anchorage...
