Principal's CornerGreetings,
At Mass this past Sunday I sat next to a visitor from New Jersey. He commented on how nice it was to see so many young people at church, which was not the case in his parish. The gentleman was also impressed to see our children participate as servers, readers, greeters, and members of the choir. For me, this as just another reminder of what a great, vibrant parish we have at St. Francis and John.
Take care and God bless,
Dan Mardell
