THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
I cannot tell you how much I have been looking forward to this day. St. Augustine / St. Monica is not merely physically gorgeous, the atmosphere is downright inspiring. Father Dan and his congregation are always so warm and welcoming to visitors. The gospel choir sings beautifully and their rendition of "How Great Thou Art" brought several people to tears. In fact, everyone in attendance thanked us for connecting them to such a vibrant community.
Frankly, I expected the mass to be uplifting. I was pleased that the gathering managed to surpass even my lofty expectations. Keith, Melissa and I were grateful for the amazing show of support today (the KMA posse consisted of more than 100 family and friends, doubling the size of a typical Sunday mass).
As if that was not enough, the flash mob that performed in the parking lot after the service blew me away!
Stay tuned for pictures (please send yours if you haven't already).
Thank you Peggy, Keith and Melissa. It was so great to see you and all of your friends yesterday. Peggy you are beating this and your courage, positive attitude and sense of humor came shining through.
