A MESSAGE FROM FATHER ARNOLD  
Flowers grow beautifully in the garden.
Cactus grow amazingly in the desert.
Water Lilies grow gracefully in the pond.
Orchids grow wonderfully on trees.
Trees grow mightily in the forest.
Like them, GOD placed us where we grow best and HE gave us nice beautiful people to GROW up with.  
Happy First Day of Spring!
-Fr. Arnold
