The lights were dimmed and the Sacred Heart Catholic School gym was transformed into a museum Friday, October 30 in celebration of All Saints’ Day. The 2015 Saints’ Parade, Museum and Exhibit, hosted by Sacred Heart Catholic School, offered visitors of all ages a chance to learn about many Saints’ lives. Every class contributed a project such as posters, dioramas, life-sized paper doll Saints and even pumpkins decorated as Saints! During the school mass that day, the Saints’ Parade was the introduction to our celebration. Later in the day, the gym was transformed into a museum as “living statues” quickly became the highlight of the event. What a great success the Saint’s Mass and Saint’s Museum of 2015 was for our school – so proud!

Pat & Barb Clark went on a road trip this summer to Esopus to visit and  see Father Browne’s grave stone. They wanted to  share the following photos with all of us!! Below are pictures taken of Father Browne’s grave stone. The property is now owned by a Bruderhoff group, a religious organization. They welcomed Pat & Barb with open arms and wanted to know more about Father Browne. Truly a wonderful visit for all!!!

Fr. Tom was in the city of Shrul, Ireland which is in County Mayo to visit his mother. Although his visit was brief, he enjoyed his visit with his mother and other family members.

While he was there he celebrated a Mass at St. Joseph and visited the school, nursing homes and the Redemptorist Community.

Fr. Aldrin had a busy week & weekend by attending the girls Vocation Club Meeting with Sr. Josephine and serving as Spiritual Director for both  the Pilgrim Virgin Visit to Elsa and Barnaby Romo’s home on Saturday. He also was Spiritual Director for the Orlando Diocese monthly Comitium meeting which was held at St. Peter’s & Paul Catholic Church in Winter Park on Sunday.
