My dad was not exciting. He left every morning, at the same time, and came home every evening, at the same time. Every Saturday he came to Confession with us, and every Sunday he came to Mass with us. I still have my report cards from school: he signed every one of them. Yes, he [...]

Father Lorenzo has been with us only a short time, but we already love him as a father, and it is hard to see him go. We wish that we could hold on to him, but it is not possible; when he was ordained a priest, he vowed obedience to Christ, in the person of [...]
