A MESSAGE FROM FATHER ARNOLD
Rainy days?
The beauty of this day isn't the sunrise nor a good weather but the thought of God giving us another day to see thru life.
Always remember:
Life is never without a need; never without a problem,
never without a trial, never without hurtful moments...
but a peaceful life is never without Christ!
Have a blessed and worry-free week!
-Fr. Arnold
